A Conversation for The Myth Of 42 [(5-3+0+5) * (6+0) = 42]

OK... Basically I've come to the realisation that no matter how many round tuit's arrive in the post I'm really not going to be able to keep up with demand for updating the Myth... It seems like it'd be a full time job if I did, and I've already got one of those...
I'd suggest a co-operative entity - like the H2G2 mice - but they've (or rather Orcus, myself and ANother) kind of let that one die...
So what I propose to do is to cap the number of entries at either the current level, at 42 entries, or at the closest multiple of 42.. And to simply acknowledge new 42ers status with a reply to their 42ism...
I will try and honour the promises I made to add people at the beginning of this year however...
Let me know what you think...

Aw, sorry AK, but its got kinda hard to keep up, I'm not saying I won't add anybody else ever again, just that right now I just haven't got the time.. Just keeping up to date with all my conversations is nigh on impossible....
BUT if I Get on top of all the convo's and I can make time for it I will update all the 42isms I can find....
I'd just rather not promise something I know I can't deliver...

y'see what I'm up against.....
Total Registered Researchers
153194 Researchers have registered since we launched on April 28, 1999.
Now if even only 1% want their 42isms added I'll be here forever, Authenicating them, editting the entry, etc... And work KEEPS GETTING IN THE WAY!!!

However, there are only 352 threads hanging off the A-page - so it shouldn't take an eternity

many people including me probably never posted their 42isms on a thread...

Argon0 (50 and feeling it - back for a bit) Posted Oct 10, 2003
And several threads contain multiple 42isms...

To whoever reads this doing archiving:
my 6 42isms are on my space.

I decided that was enough.
I don't suppose this will ever happen

Indeed I did... I usually don't even try with more than 2 digits.
