The Dancing Tree

Maybe there's a secret eleventh sub-editor called Max Moxon, scary identical twin of the h2g2 chief. This article is a way for Mark to keep him from taking over the world by massaging his ego. Of course, five mere pages linking to "Max" over one week will soon not be enough. Soon it will be ten, then twenty. Mark's name will suddenly disappear and the Editor column will be filled with Max Moxon, all entires will be about "Corrosive Acid", and the sub-editors will all also be forced to change their name to Max or face the consequences.

At this point in time I would just like to tahnk Mark for sending me the XML for the Skipping Stones article. It came through fine.

Now, where was I? Oh, yes Max. Hey, what's that shadow behind me? No. No. No. No, I won't change my name to Max. You can't make me. Aaaagggghhhhhhhh .......

Ben, I wish I understood what on earth you were talking about most of the time. Even 50% would do...

Maybe Mark is just his h2g2 name. Maybe his real name is Mork Maxon - so they call him Max for short.
