Double agents count for both, and for the record I didn't call anyone dumb, just suggested it was too complicated for people to grasp. Why are we doing it....here we go again......aces are the official greeters, angels are the unofficial greeters, so even if a new user has been greeted by an angel they still need a greeting from an ace, unless (and this IS where it gets complicated) the angel is also an ace in which case one will do? So to help tell them apart angels should use letters and aces numbers and I guess it follows that someone who is both should use both. Clear? I don't think so because at least one angel who is not both is posting letters AND numbers, at least one who is both is only posting numbers, one who is not both is also only posting numbers instead of letters, so it is once again getting complicated.
Still at least Will is on track now, good to see you are in the swing wWill. But who can now say which have been done by angels, by aces or by both. I'll count up and give a summary, (I might even be honest smiley - smiley)

I've done Tweetie but I expect that doesn't count.

Maybe you should just stick to numbers and when people say they've done them thay can put if they are an ACE or Angel or Both. eg.

42 - Both

OK, for the Aces we still need to do:
Pages activated late 3 then sections 1-9 inclusive.
These have however been covered by angels who NOT aces so Will you can choose to either do them as an ace or not bother. As for the Angels: ....No hang on a minute, this is meant to be a competition....you work it out.smiley - tongueout I'll take pages activated late 3 leaving aces to do 1-9.

Will, it got very confusing last week and what has been happening is that newcomers have been left ungreeted by aces ( or judging by the large numbers of other aces here....me you and Tweetie)
The idea was to make it less confusing (stop laughing immeadiatly!!)and to have a fun competiton. 1-9 are unclaimed by Aces. I'll be back later to finish off...

Ahem.
I have been greeting with: welcome to h2g2...
{with 3 dots after} as requested.
However, I have been posting after an ACE who is also posting with 3 dots after his greeting.
I apologize for posting the group number and letter.
In future I will just post the letter, to try & make things a ~little~ less confusing.
Will, when did you do Tweetie?
And why didn't she tell me?smiley - winkeye

Sadly, had to stop at 73{h} as my teenage son just walked in & requested the pc {nicely} NOT.
I'll do the rest of {h} when I log back on, approx. 4.30pm. Hopefully the sun will be gone from my screen then too & I'll be fed & watered & in a ~much~ better mood....smiley - winkeye

I'm doing r and s, but mark ye all that I'm also an ACE so no-one need bother with the blocks that I do again.
