Just a couple quick questions,
Will the h2g2 Extra be listed on the Named Pages list?
Will you have an article in the next edition?

You can wait until Monday or tues day to answer this. I'm in no hurry. Mina answered with a non-answer.
She thought this matter had died months ago.
I gave her the adress
F55683?thread=158737&skip=175&show=20
which indicates otherwize.
What's your take on the whole situation.
I patiently await your reply

Hi Shagbark,
To answer your questions - firstly the named entry. The Post is the only Community activity to have a named entry, the rest of the named entries are all official pages. This priviledge was extended to the Post after it had been going for sometime (about a year I seem to remember) and showed that it was a success. If h2g2 Extra becomes a regular and popular Community activity then we would consider giving it a named entry. However, we couldn't just give it a named entry without having seen that it had a successful track record.
Will I be writing an article? I have said previously to the Editor, I would love to write an article. But I haven't been asked to write one and I don't know when the article is needed. I cannot speak for the other members of the team. Of course this all depends on what I have to do in the way of work, but if any one were to approach me, the answer would be yes.
Perhaps I will write one on moving house, which is what I was doing yesterday.

whatever that editor is doing it is apparently being done behind closed doors.
He doesn't even seem to have a working e-mail address. Since my question is answered I guess I will unsubscribe to this thread. *unsubscribes

Anyone? Any questions?
OK, here goes... why is the sky blue?
*looks out of office window*
Eh - I think I'll change that...
Why is the sky grey?
No, wait - that's too easy - the answere'd be 'because it's cloudy' - wouldn't it...
Hmmmm...
Oh well, I guess the answer to your question is 'No' Abi!
Ahem - so what am I doing here? Bored stiff at w*rk closing the books for October, obviously
Here's a link to a Halloween card I found quite amusing (but then, I'm easily amused!):

<./>AggGag</.> and <./>AggGag-Archives</.> are a couple of exceptions (I'm assuming the only ones). Of course, we didn't get an auto-updating name like <./>thepost</.> gets.
The bottom?

I didn't know about that Lucinda! But I do know.
To the best of my knowledge those are the only exceptions
