My Dear Deus, may I call you Deus?
I must say I'm impressed by the way you've travelled back to April 17th and posted on April 18th (according to the wonderful h2g2 date stamp) about June 26th (according to my calendar).
It is when you do things like this that I wonder if I understand correctly that 'Deux ex machina' really means 'god in the machine'. 
And if so do you believe yourself to be a spiritual entity unbounded by time and space but resident in a specific website?
Like I say, I'm ready to believe anything. Hell, I talk to auto-responders and other forms of artificial intelligence. It would be nice to meet a spiritual being for a change.

I thought "Deus ex machina" meant "God used to be an auto mechanic"!

I thought it meant two non-machines. But that was just my guess

Well, anyway, they were all wrong
Oh well, better luck next time...
Anyway, according to what I know it's something appearing out of nowhere to save the day, which I've pretty much failed to do in all respects (not that the day actually ever needs saving).
