I regret that now. My excuse is that the first time I sent my abstract it somehow got lost, so I made a point of asking him to acknowledge receipt when I sent my paper in. I knew from my previous correspondence with him that he is very helpful and friendly, so when I heard nothing back I assumed that, like my abstract first time, it hadn't got through. So I sent it again. And again. And again... <br /><br />The conference would have been great, I think, and will be if it somehow still happens. I hope the problem is simply that the funding got pulled or something of that sort, and not anything more personal.Duncan Richterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708344766825805406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454161596094447448.post-63807186401340357012012-05-16T13:34:24.413-04:002012-05-16T13:34:24.413-04:00Lars and Duncan,

I've tried contacting Mikael Karlsson a couple of times since, but I've heard nothing back. I hope all turns out OK for them. Really quite disappointing, I think it would have been a very interesting conference!71https://www.blogger.com/profile/04975123076465093626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454161596094447448.post-89727697245106872852012-05-16T07:15:51.201-04:002012-05-16T07:15:51.201-04:00Thank you, Lars.

As regards the conference "In ...Dear Duncan -<br /><br />As regards the conference "In Wittgenstein's Footsteps", it is becoming evident that, unfortunately, the plans have stranded. I had some correspondence with the organizer, I also submitted an abstract, was asked to revise it, but then heard nothing back. In fact, I've had no contact since June 2011.Lars Hertzberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09840441217838499844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454161596094447448.post-72670387609184094242012-05-15T11:02:59.881-04:002012-05-15T11:02:59.881-04:00Thanks, Matt.

But I should be free in the evenings on the 7th and 8th if you're around and have nothing better to do. It would be good to meet you if you're in the area.Duncan Richterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708344766825805406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454161596094447448.post-14402918374297695512012-05-15T08:48:39.710-04:002012-05-15T08:48:39.710-04:00Congrats to Reshef!
