Intriguing addition to the Myth of 42 may I add a link in my article http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A530560.
Maybe there should be a distinction between a Pure 42ism and one that uses things like Modular (or integer(?) Division)??
I'm planning on putting the Myth forward for Peer review today - Any comments?
Hmmmmm

Hey, how come this didn't show up in my "Recent Conversations" list?! 
Hmm, I see you tend to call it 42isms. I should mention that. As for a distinction between pure and "impure" 42isms... I don't know. The 42 game is your idea. 
Hmmmmm

And how comes, despite following the GuideML Clinic - I'm still not getting Referenced Articles on the rigt hand side from my Home Space.
Squeak!
Hmmmmm

Aha! Argon-naught! I just got that, boy am I slow...
My guess is that there are too many links to the same entry, and that mucks up the whole Reference system. Although I have no idea why it would... Btw, what's that ARTICLE tag you got there? Not that it makes any difference -- I tried pasting your code into a new Entry, but no luck. No reference.
Strange.
Hmmmmm

My code? How'd you get that?
Article Tag?? I just used or something... Well I did after finding out about it!
Yes, it has taken some people a while to catch on, not that I'm complaining of course - It took me long enough to think it up when various login systems already had Argo, Argon, Argonaut, Argo0, etc...! 
Hmmmmm

You can get the code to any entry by altering the URL a bit. The URL for an entry looks like this (as everyone already knows):
http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A512902
You can see the code by swapping the 'A' for 'test':
http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/test512902
As for the ARTICLE tag, I see now that the server adds that itself. Sorry if I confused you. The LINK tag with the H2G2 attribute should work fine; I'm surprised that it doesn't. Maybe you should complain to Mark or someone. You might try starting a conversation on the LINK page:

What ANOTHER conversation to keep tabs on - I'm got 50 plus on my Forum postings page atm!! (had to change the URL to end in =50, which you can do when you are reading threads to make it not so tricky scrolling down)!
Key: Complain about this post
Hmmmmm
