Subject: Re: ABLEconf mtg tonight at 20:00
OK, so it sounds like the mibbit client is still too dumb,
to detect (and tell me) the fact that it is blocked... Hmm...
I didn't have this problem
the previous time, I
tried to participate in one of these #ABLEconf sessions...

and, even that, does not explain why my session at webchat.freenode.net ,
is
not able to see anything, that anyone else is saying.

I did notice that it is displaying my CHANNEL ID as
#@ABLEconf

but I do not know where that "@" came from ...
(not from me!)
(at least, not intentionally!)

Thanks,
