Goodbye! See you around, and good luck with the new job.
BTW, if you aren't being replaced, does that mean the remaining italics will be even more overworked and the standard of service (both technical and otherwise) on h2g2 with be even worse than it is now?

I was meaning to mention something on that subject - I was wondering whether I should post some sort of commiseration 
to the rest of the Italics about not only having lost Anna, but having to take on all her work as well!
As a fellow BBC-er, I know how it feels and can only empathise...

Eh? I think there's a fantastic level of service on h2g2. It's brilliant!

Name me one other site where the staff spend as much time that they ought to spend working chatting to us instead! I bet you can't.
Whoami?

It looks weird seeing you without your italics. And just think of all those buttons you no longer have!
Whoami?
