h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

When I sent this in It had the title "Money Market Blues" 2011 version
this is the latest in a series of versions
(original 1977, first revision 2006, se3cond revision 2011).
Somehow the Post changed the title.

Ah. You confused us a little. (We are easily confused.)

This can be changed. to change hats...

Dmitri is too nice. I think this needs some clarification. You sent it in titled: poetry. You asked whether we had seen your latest copy of Money Market Blues and then sent a link to a post by Pirate Alexander, making it look as if he had written it.
At the bottom the email said this was the 2011 version by yours truly. Now I happened to remember your RL name and I knew you were Shapgbark and not PAL, and just so we wouldn't get trouble with publishing a poem by PAL which somebody else (ie you) sent in, I asked Dmitri to ask you to verify who this was from.

At Dmitri's request you then sent us your user name and user number, and I had meanwhile browsed the forum and seen that PAl had only repeated a poem that you had posted there earlier.

Please excuse us if we weren't aware of any previous and revised versions. We did NOT change change the title. Not even somehow.

Well, not to worry - it may take us awhile, but we get there.

I am sorry I did not make it more clear
my e-mail started with the words
Have you seen my latest copy of the Money Market Blues?
I probably should have said "of my poem entitled: Money Market Blues"
I am thouroghly impressed at how quick the Editor changed it when he read my protest.
thanks again for a great h2g2 Post.

I am also thankful that the conversation search works now so I could find the early version

That's cool, that you updated the poem.

Sad, a bit, that the sentiment keeps being applicable.

I am so grateful for the search function, though. Makes an editor's life easier.

I hope you'll send us more good stuff, and check out this week's variety. I had to get the frame stretchers out for this issue...
