Hi Val,

My thanks to you and the entire KCOMM for doing all of the necessary leading up to, during, and after the ceremony itself. You all put in numerous hours to have a fun event and your efforts are much appreciated.

I fear I won't be able to join the party. I don't have a personal Skype account, and when I tried to get one, I ran across the most fiendish CAPTCHA I have seen in my life. It requires you to properly orient a picture *ten times*, with no instructions hinting at the best solution. The image was an animated GIF of umbrellas in various orientations moving. I had assumed that the proper orientation was them moving downward, consistent with gravity. I tried the CAPTCHA twice and was deemed wrong both times. When I tried to get a different CAPTCHA, it repeatedly gave me the same one. I did an online search and discovered that I am by no means the only human to fail the test.

Anyway, since Microsoft won't let me create a personal Skype account, I'll have to skip the ceremony. If there is a transcript made of it, I would love to read it.

Thanks,
Lynn

Hey Lynn,

It does let you join the chats through a guest account without creating a Microsoft account. When it gets closer we can send you the link to see if it works for you.

Really? That's wonderful. Thanks.

Hi Val,

I would like to ask a question but I need to confirm the email address you posted above. I sent the email to KCOM@kerthawards.com and it bounced back. Could someone please let me know what I’m doing wrong. Thank you!

Best,
Songbird

Hey Songbird,

Send me an email at folc4evernaday at gmail dot com.

I've sent the issue to Annette to look into as I received the same error.

I thought KCOMM had two "M's." Could that be the problem?

I checked with Annette and she is correcting the issue. During the change in host the alias didn't get setup.

Thanks Lynn! I sent the email to Val’s email and KCOMM. KCOMM bounced too so hopefully Val with get my email at her address.

Ah well, Songbird, it was worth a shot. Sorry the solution wasn't so simple. But it looks like Val and Annette are already busy resolving the problem.

Thanks Lynn! It was definitely worth a shot. I appreciate your taking the time to help me.

Best,
Songbird

Wooohooo!! I’m so thankful that there was a fandom still alive and thriving when I came back mid-last year!! And I’m happy that the Kerths are still going, too! Thanks so much for all the hard work you do!
