ATTENTION: anyone who can't log in! - History Forum ~ All Empires

Let's get this straight, once and for all. CV didn't suspend you, I did. And it wasn't a matter of "allowing you to post", we don't know why you couldn't get in. And you didn't have to resort to anything, I was already working on it. Let's put this one to bed. A glitch happened, knock off the paranoia and let it go.

What is going on?

I cannot access forum under my old name (cavalry4ever). I could not post any messages and reset my password. Could anyone check this?

It is interesting to start from the beginning.

I don't know if this fits in or not but, it is interesting that the Egyptian Obelisk that was brought to New York was called "Cleopatra's Needle".

Med, I don't know if your interested in preserved dialects or not, but there are still some places in Appalachia where forms of Elisabethan English and a few obscure dialects of same, can be heard.

Not as prevelant now as in the late 60's, when my high school best bud and I got a grant from the library of Congress and went stomping off into the "hollers" of West Virginia. Armed with 2 tape recorders, cameras and a very large white flag,[I'm not joking either. Once we made contact with the right folks, we were ushered into some of the most remote places I have ever seen. The local Sherriff found out about us and gave us the flag and a 20 minute course on how not to get shot.

We listened intently.] We did however, in the course of 6 weeks, find roughly 10 hours of music, sung in dialects of English that hadn't been heard anywhere else in 3-400 years. Sadly, when I went to obtain copies of our work 4 years ago, I was told it couldn't be found. Since they started digitsing the collection however, they might have found it by now.

Med. I once ordered a load of Landscape material from Mississipp. 5 men from Mississippi and Georgia came along to assist in the unloading. I worked with them for 3.5 hours, and never understood a word they said, until one of them asked me if I "Gahda laht". If he hadn't been holding an unlit cigarette, I'd have had no idea.

Dear red clay, as you must have noticed I placed no real blame anywhere, as via my words taken from my post above;

"This is basically a test post, so red and Cryptic can see that they have had a successful foray into the world of the computer."

Thanks for all you and Cryptic did!

And medenaywe, we shall again make postings that neither of us really understand! LOL

Dealing with computer problems can be frustrating. Esp. when the program seems to have a mind of it's own.

I first eliminated any possibility of "human influence". After that ? Just so you know no ones immune, I frequently am told by the program that I don't have sufficient permission to do something. Must have been listening to my wife.
