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

This was done in 1999 and rejected, but I have updated it and maybe it meets the new guidelines.

Hi again JzG!

I'm having a bit of trouble with this one.

I'd never heard of Mike Corley and it might be helpful to expand the title a little to give a flavour of the man.

Reading the entry, I felt in need of further explanation and looked at the website, looked as far as FAQs and felt more confused.

I think the entry may benefit for a bit more exposition at the beginning and I think perhaps that the entry should not rely on a reader going into the link to understand the subject.

I'm sorry if that sounds a bit negative. Coming at it without any prior knowledge, I can't get a proper handle on it.

I'd be interested to hear what other Researchers think. Maybe I'm having an 'off' day.

I think if you are confused that you have probably understood perfectly

Suitably zany and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

What does that say for me?

Hmm. I liked this entry, but I finished it thinking "so who was/is he anyway?" Maybe a little more direct information about who he is would be appropriate.

Also, If you put Tags around all your paragraphs, it looks alot bettter in classic goo. Otherwise, your paragraphs are (for me) uncomfortably close to the rather imposing headers. Just a pet peeve of mine.

With a little tweaking, I think this has promise.

This is one of my older entries and uses the tag to break paras. I will probably fix this.

As to who Mike Corley is... well, he's just a bloke who spammed people and annoyed Usenet. There is no more information.

Oh, OK.

7 years, still up on the BBC.

JzG - have you managed to get a life yet? Something, hopefully, that doesn't involve being a 'researcher'? The only thing that's bizarre here is that the BBC allows this sort of **** up on its website.

The guy's paranoid, which means that he has a medical condition. Just let him get on with his life, which must be hard enough without your help. Laughing at him is pointless and offensive, and does you no credit whatsoever.

No-one's replied to this article in well over 4 years. It's fairly safe to say no-one was hassling Mr. Corley. Why do you choose to bring this up now?
