The perils of being a new h2g2 field researcher
Nigel The Goatless Started conversation Aug 23, 1999
After taking the plunge to become a field researcher on h2g2, and posting my first comment on my home town, I decided to leave it a couple of days to add my first entry. I had been most impressed to discover that the site seemed to recognise me as who I was every time I logged on.
However, after leaving it a couple of days and coming back determined to add my first literary gem, I discover that h2g2 no longer remembers who I am! Am I so easily forgotten?
Not being easily desuaded, unless of course forgotten by a woman, I decided to take the bit between my horns and re-register, receiving an email reply that opened with the gambit "hello old fiend" or sum such.
So now I discover that h2g2 has not forgotten me (it must be love) and it even lets me use my existing nom de plume. (It would have been a tragedy for Nigel the Goatless to disappear into oblivion [again] so soon.)
So the lesson to us all is that even if h2g2 forgets a face, your name is forever foremost.
