Come on people, you can live without h2g2 for 30 minutes can't you?

I'll be in school then anyway - In Music, as it happens, so y'know, You'd think it wouldn't make any difference, wouldn't you?

Peer Review has been *automated*, not replaced. Is that what you meant? it still serves exactly the same purpose, it's just a little more manageable.

Pierce, what do you mean? I just meant that, if all goes as scheduled, h2g2 will go down at 2.30 am, and be back at 3... And I get up at 5.30...
