Hi everyone,
Brian is having trouble accessing this site and asked me to post this for him:
"HI JPF Members: Since early December I have been unable to connect to our website in any way or with any device from our offices or my home. I have been trying daily to get Comcast to fix this problem to no avail. I am unsure of the final solution or how long it will take to resolve, but you can reach me via email at jpfolkspro@aol.com and via Facebook on my own page, or any of the two JPF pages (Just Plain Folks on Facebook or Just Plain Folks group page). Sorry for the trouble. I have also been unable to add any new members since then so if you are reading this, please know I desperately trying to resolve this. Comcast has lied repeatedly and daily, hung up on me after hours on the phone, made dozens of promises to call me back and never once did etc. It is beyond frustrating."
Hang in there, Brian!

Man, I know that feeling. I was shut out for two years with very similar problems. We're thinking about you Brian.

Hi Folks, I am using my cell phone at the moment to get on. I am not sure how to solve this issue, I have tried being patient, being forceful, taking names and employee numbers and reporting them, documenting all the calls and promises etc etc etc. Since Comcast is nearly a monopoly short of a very slow alternative, I am at a loss for what else to do.
Hope you guys are well!
Brian

Hey Brian,
I know it's a problem, but you could always wander down the road to your local MacDonalds, or into town where the Wifi is free.
It's a pain, I know, but there is just so much free access if you're prepared to work at k values, which is all about this site uses, being text and not media heavy.
Or you could just drive down your own street and hitch a lift on others non-password protected Wifi connections.
cheers, niteshift

Hang in there, Brian! I tried posting this message several weeks ago but for some reason it never showed up. Everett

My sympathies Brian. I have similar experiences. Complaining is like talking to an amoeba.

Well, we're working on checking in Music Award entries so I haven't left the office much to do anything else.
I think they may finally have done something as I was able to get on for the first time tonight since early December. But I can't go to the actual home page, only the message board. But it's better than nothing!

Hi Brian:
I can only imagine the degree of frustration you feel. Everett's relay of your message did appear on the site for a while. I'm not sure when it "vanished."
Thankfully, Emily's action served to re-inform us of your dillema and I hope you know that your presence here on a day to day basis is sorely missed.
All this will eventually pass and you will return to JPF in time. Your "Shout Box" messages are also viewable so we've known you are alive and kicking at the very least.
Hang in there... and help us pray for Bobbie Gallup's health issue.
Dave
