Mignon, how come when I go to this web page there’s an “Authentication Required” dialog box that pops up? I can cancel out of it, but it’s disconcerting.
Terrific interview, BTW. You have a light, insightful touch that gives your guest full opportunity to be fascinating and informative.
Hi, Len.
I don’t know what is going on. My Twitter account has been suspended and I don’t know why. Very frustrating! I submitted a support ticket, and they immediately marked it as solved, but my account is still suspended. I added a comment (reopening the ticket), but so far, no response from anyone at Twitter.
When I pull up “Behind the Grammar” it asks me for my Twitter account and password for authentication. I think it is the Twitter widget in my sidebar trying to log in. I guess I’ll take it down until this account stuff gets ironed out. (Did I mention that it’s very frustrating?) 🙂
Great interivew, Mignon. I went to podiobooks while I was listening to your podcasts and found a bunch of interesting podcasts. “Great Moments in History” is my current favorite.
