Back now! As I was saying, h2g2 has:
Broadened my knowledge.
Made me smile, made me (almost) cry.
Cost my parents an arm and a leg in phone bills.
Devoured day after day of my time.
Oh, and I got an h2g2 t-shirt, mousepad and pen! 
Whoami?

Hmm. The instructions say that I'm not
supposed to ask questions or post messages here.
That only leaves making announcements as an option.
Um, let me just announce that, unlike Whoami,
I never got an H2G2 mousepad, T shirt, or pen.

I demand that this may or may not be an announcement.

I announce that this may or may not be a demand.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, h2g2 IS what the internet should be.
Oh, and one more thing...
Absent friends.
