Secretly Not Here Any More

Can someone explain this curious phenomena to me? From what I can gather they were a reasearcher who asked how to cancel their account and never cancelled again!

The only way to get to real grips with it is to read the 'cancel' thread, all the way through, as one researcher has just done, and she has found the truth smiley - zen

Let me say only this.
This this this this this this this this.
No seriouslynessly.
Let me tell a tale, which may, through its myandering may reveal something of th e path, and fortune that awaits at the end.

There was, not that long ago, a simple man, not simple of mind, by any stretch of the underware elastic, but simple in living. He aimed for good in what he did, and tried to see the good in the work of others. His name was of no particular significence to his tale, and so we shall not say it here.
He worked, a rather hard, earnest and methodical and tirelessly faithful worker, if I may say, in a factory.
Now, this wasn't a factory concerned with making lots of cruedly recycled animal protein, and neither did It concern the sealing of envelopes or making of vast numbers of phone calls. He made furnature.
He was a carpenteer.
He lived through his work, and through him, his work lived.
He made chairs, and tables, cupboards, and desks, stools and tool boxs, drawers and all manns of small things, from bowls, to chopping boards, and coat hanging devices, to coat stands.
In all his work, was clearly evident the forethought and sincerity with which he approched the task; whatever that task may be, from the loness of a three legged stool, to the grandure of a twenty four seater table and chair set, embelished with a family creast.
He worked for many years, and made much.
And at home, he did raise, and care for his family, and tenderly educate and nurture his children, with the assistance of his whife.
One Wednesday morning, he crossed over the road to wher ehe worked, and got hit by the number 32 bus, and died.

It really is about time a new rule was added to the house rules saying something like

"thou shalt not enquireas to who nighthoover is nor as to what the rules are for Mornington Crescent"

It would save a lot of server space!

absolutely! couldn't agree with you more Ictoan! I completely agree that there should be no more of this ubiquitous (e.g. important sounding, big word) rubbish, scattered around and quite frankly clogging up the whole ask hootoo.





but its quite nice to praise the wondrousness of Nighthoover to newcomers and is Mornington Crescent just for people who know the train routes of nodnoL because i have no ideasmiley - huhsmiley - biggrin

I was also completely confused by this Nighthoover when I first came across him. As far as I can tell he was a researcher who wanted to cancel his H2G2 account and then just disappeared, and now there is a belief among a scarily large number of researchers that he is some sort of prophet.

I have managed to gather this much without reading the thread 'cancel'.

However I still have not worked out the rules to Mornington Crescent.

clzoomer- a bit woobly

Consider if you will the zen like meditation of hoovering in the night. The floor in front lit by the light of the hoover, an ever expanding v of diminishing light in the dim room. Consider the creation of cleanliness in a dearth of dust and lint. The rhythmic motion of the hoover matched by the gentle swivel of the hips and extension and retraction of the arm, hypnotic and engaging. The creation of light and cleanliness in an obscured, dusty universe. Consider the gentle words of nighthoover, the resignation and childlike innocence. Is it any wonder we prays Nighthoover?smiley - zen
