h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi Leo,

I see you missed the news, and bob's put you up to date. If you want to read how the community's responding then http://www.tinyurl.com/noohootoo would help. Be warned, it's a monster.

In the meantime a favour:

We're putting together a collection of writing on h2g2 to showcase just how good we are - we'll be using it to promote the site and publicise the community's attempts to save it.

Your entry on pull-ups has been suggested a couple of times. I'm not 100% sure we'll have room - the list is pretty stable now, but there may be some drop-outs.

The thing is we need permission from the authors and the sub-editors to use their writing, because we aren't the BBC and don't have blanket permission.

Would you be ok with us doing this? It's only a maybe, but as I said, we may have some pieces we can't use. The main reason yours wasn't on the main list already is that you've not been around so much recently.

Let me know here.

All the best

Ben
