It's kind of the internet version of a 'local' radio station, isn't it? Awe, how quaint
H2G2 is the big city, and 'a sense of place' a very small village of perhaps one shop, a pub(part of the only guest house),and 23 houses, about 35 miles away from.. oh let's say Stornoway..
Er, ok, sorry you get the analogy..

Fascinating.
It is odd how the terminally dull are so quick to damn the interesting. I'd much rather be here with all these fine upstanding drug-addled hippies than stuck in some pokey little virtual-pub listening to someone drone on about how they would hide their sister.
The great service of that link is to remind me of how lucky I am to have H2G2.

Well isn't it the job of younger siblings to hate their big brothers, and then come running to them for help when they get in a jam?
You don't think sombody spiked the on the way in do you?

Oh, c'mon. You can see how h2g2 could look quite big and scary to an outsider.
And I think most BBC staff who work on such sites think that h2g2 is great for what its done, but they want to distance themselves from the site to keep a big of breathing space. After all, with the h2g2 community being so big, it could easily quickly swamp another site, and they don't want to be little h2g2-outposts.
Oh and it doesn't help by people complaining about features on other sites when what they're really complaining about are differences from h2g2...

Hey, man - I don't see your beef. Lay off the dude, alright. Chill. Be cool. Listen to the music.

I would have taken it light-heartedly if he didn't assume that I had been involved in the Roswell incident or have been taking LSD. The fool, I was involved in the Roswell incident AND have been taking LSD.

Not much controversy there I see but then when I go to a pub it's usually to get away from the sorts of issues that we do discuss here.
I always think that h2g2 is like a big fancy library/museum/gallery within a cafe where we all come to socialise whilst feeding our minds.
Incog.

As a child, my father once announced 'You should have seen the smell I just heard.' We might have known that it would all end up with me on h2g2, mighnt't we?
