GOOD NEWS.
We're not being charged for this wait.
Your wait is important to us please be assured that our highly trained operatives are even now contemplating terminating their 3 hour chat with their mate in accounts.
You have now reached the head of the queue, and when this office re-opens on Monday you will be the first call to be ignored by our beuatifully modulated counsellors.

Your postings are very important to us (otherwise we would be out of a job)

Interesting. Somebody's dodgy server appears to have double posted the posting I just made, and the one I tried to make ten minutes ago, but gave up for lost.

I will try and get them to you as soon as possible. I will probably post them up in a thread as soon as I get into work and then do the Guide ML for the pages when I get time. Unfortunately the pages will have to fit around the Iraq policy, meetings with management about the restructuring and convincing Hoovooloo he has not been banned.
But you will get the results in a conversation tomorrow morning. Thank you for your patience.

Hoov's been up to quite a lot by the looks of things! I do hope his postings come off of premoderation as they make fun reading when you finally get to see them - the ramblings of an interesting mind I think you'ld call them

Mu Beta Posted Mar 18, 2003
'interesting' being a very carefully chosen word, of course...

Speaking of interesting.... who'd like to be a fly on the wall in the h2g2 office today... I get the feeling there are some pretty stressed people in there right now 
Does anyone think today is not the right day for me to practice my favourite sport - winding up an italic

Depends how much the 'visting Causulty' sport appeals to you?

Kerr_Avon - hunting stray apostrophes and gutting poorly parsed sentences Posted Mar 18, 2003
Then post and be damned Abi
(again!)
GreyDesk Posted Mar 18, 2003
Will being an obstreperous little b*gger at the moment have any bearing on the potential results?

Ah ha, the mods finally caught up with your nick then GD? 
PS- I'm being nice- see me shine like a good little (hurry up before this halo slips again)
(again!)
Mu Beta Posted Mar 18, 2003
With all due respect to those who inhabit the Editorial Office, I think a bit of stress every now and then might do them good. Anyone who gets paid to loaf about on this site needs an incentive to work for their money.
...No, please give me my Sub-editor's badge back.
