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

Hi Scarlet! Welcome to h2g2. As an Assistant Community Editor it's my task to welcome you to this most friendly part of the internet and give you a few pointers as to where to go for help.

The Aces' Homepage (http://www.h2g2.com/A214796) is always a good place, and there's also a page for newcomers called Newcomers Welcome (http://www.h2g2.com/A5752). If you don't feel like dropping by there you can always drop by the user page of myself or any ACE and ask, or just talk of course.

Enjoy h2g2!

Well, thank you, MaW! I'm sure I'll get around to it. You're right, this is a friendly part of the internet, I just noticed that there are TWO welcome forums on my page

It often happens that more than one ACE drops by to greet a new researcher. Sometimes I wonder if there are too many of us - but try to get any of us to stop being ACEs and you'd really find out what the phrase "to get blood out of a stone" means. And anyway, the current arrangement allows me to be incredibly lazy from time to time as there's always someone to cover for me

Laziness can be god sometimes

Just in case you get too lazy to answer - I'll get in quick here.

Hi Scarlet - nice to see a new face - well if I had a videocam, I would be able to see you, but alas I do not - Hi all the same

Yes, laziness can be good. It also enables me to skimp on ACEing in order to do some homework. Not long to go with that though - in 6 weeks school and exams are finished forever

But they are followed by three years of university and exams

Yuck. Why do I do it? Three words:

"Piles", "of" and "cash"

Ooh! Piles of cash !!!!!

What are you planing on studying?

Scarlet wishes it to be known that the last post was from her, made from my computer, under the assumption she was using her own screen name....

~Irving

Oops, yeah, that was kinda embarrasing! ::blush:: Hi Irving! (He's such a sweetie). I'm sorry I can't be on with my own computer more often

Shucks the secret is out - its enough to turn into scarlet blush

Have fun, thats what this site is all about.

I hope Irving's not too mad that I got to greet Scarlet first...
Still, I did miss my sister when she signed up because she didn't even tell me! How bad is that?

Why would I be mad?

Some Researchers have been known to get possessive. Anyway, since you're not mad it doesn't matter.

hehe! I think they think we're an item, Irv! Nope, just study partners. Sorry to let you all down

*blush*

Now we've mad MaW blush!

Congratulations. Few people manage to make me do that, especially when I'm not talking to them in person.

Oh well...

Hee hee hee...

I suppose you can, because I'm an ACE and I'm supposed to be nice...
