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

...if you could go through all the posts you had made on H2G2 and collect them all together, from all the different conversations and journals and things and put them all together into one great huge long document in chronological order of all thepostings youd ever made, then read them all through, and see what it said, and wouldn't it be weird, if in all the randomness that would surely result of putting together all such desperate scribblings, writtings, comments, abserditys and things, that, at some point, within it, there were sections where the different 'extracts' from the desperate conversations made some kind of patturn, where the words, when put together in this esentially random order, spelt out some sentences that crossed over from one post in one forum to one post in anotehr thread to make some kind of sense, that would be like I mean, all the nonsense and stuff and things and words and thost things that begin with a capital letter and end in a thinggy, could at last spell out some kind of sense and order

Too weird. I thought the same thing today
And Yes it would be great.
I am hoping someday that will be possible for us all.
I would love to print out everything I wrote to see how much I may change my opinions after being here a while

It came to my mind originally because of the h2g2 researchers that have died.
It is special that their writings live on here, would be extra special for people to read them all in one place.

It would be wonderful to have a memorial at the very least.
Is there a memorial thread?
*difts*

If there isn't a memorial thread...we can start one.

I'll ask if one exists over at the h2g2 site messages.

Maybe there could be a "monument" thread, as memorials are generally for dead people? "I'm not dead . . . I think I'll go for a walk now . . . I feel happy, I feel happy!"

Um er that is what I am talking about, the h2g2 researchers that have posted and hung out here gotten to know people and then died.
Happens every year
I did post an inquiry about the idea in the feedback. It may not go anywhere.

I drifted from the original post- does that help Unscrupulous?
PS - By all means keep feeling happy and alive Doctor Unscrupulous

I asked some Italics about this, at the June London meet-up I think; can you gather all your old postings together?

The answer was, go back through your conversations; though you'll have to remember which ones you've unsubscribed from. Major undertaking.

Chaiwallah on the other hand saves everything he writes on his hard disc as he posts. But then he has written most of F19585?thread=283765 "The Ballad of Grimley Moer", now approaching 10,000 lines, about to be collected together as "Book One" . . .

Some interesting ideas here mark

I sometimes read through my old journal entries and messages people have left on my Personal Space, especially ones from this summer when I backpacked around Europe for a month
