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

I get to come in through the front door this time!!!

Word of advise,use the Journal Entry section for day to day comments....use the article section to publish. You can edit any article at any time until it's(if you're lucky and good) accepted. It saves space in your Journal.

In the meantime....roam around! A great place to get to know other Researchers is the 5 Busiest Forums. You can get to it on the Front Page...(click the HG in the gooey stuff at the top left of your screen).

Thanks for the support. I'm starting shakey but I'm sure i'll get the hang of this sooner or later. Trying not to panic.

Hi Ben! Fairly Strange is right, the journal gets cumbersome when you post articles in it. Unfortunately journal entries cannot be erased

At any rate, Fairly Strange and I are both Assistant Community Editors (ACEs). The ACEs have volunteered to greet new researchers and answer questions about this very large community. If there is anything you want to know about h2g2, we are a good resource to take advantage of. Here are a few links you might find useful:

looking forward to the time that journals can be erased

We've all been there and done that

There was a time when you couldn't delete your own user pages either.........h2g2 has come a long way in the past year, and rumor has it some interesting changes are on the way soon.

With extra empasis on the soon

Much more socialable this, no doubt as you spent more time you'll decorate your home more, but now we can say hi and not take too many threads too far off topic, as if.

Topic? as if

Sorry BD, let me clarify. Most thread s around here have a tendancy to drift off topic very quickly, until you gave us a front door, one of those drifts was in telling you how to open the front door.

I have never taken a thread off topic.

YEAH RIGHT DD

Hope this clears things up slightly.

HHmmm...I was under the impression that "Topic Drift" was required!

Don't be nervous, BD. It's like getting in a cold swimming pool.....it's a whole lot better to just jump on in!

Fairly Strange might recall a forum I created specifically for topic drift. It was pretty popular for a short while

forget about all that! what about the pies man! the PIES!

Pi has an very interesting forum of its own on the ask H2G2 page.

Not Pi
PIE!

What was that about topic drift.

There never really was a topic, was there?
-Ben

One was developing hence the need to drift. 3.14 etc.

I'll have no sense makeing on my account.

Back to what may or may not have been the original topic of this forum....
Hi & welcome to H2G2 from me as well
it may not be pie, but you can come and get a donut at

Thank you for the small yellow fish, now I understand other languages and I think I finally know what "plow" means.
