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

Hi this is Nobody Particular. I am the one who originally wrote and thought of the Drinking water in Mexico bit.

I would just like to know a bit aobut the person whom I will be sharing the credit of that piece with.

Who you are, what you are like etc..

Thanks

Nobody Particular

Hi Nobody Particular. Congratulations on your pending - almost part of the edited guide - entry!

I remember you from peer review, just before h2g2 switched off. I was surprised when your excellent article appeared on my page. Was that your decision or is it an error? It's a while ago now but I don't remember making sufficient useful suggestions to warrant that kind of honour. If it was an error I think you need to have a word with the editor. I certainly wouldn't want to take credit for your hard work

I've reinstated the intro on my page so you can see who I am. It's hard to say what I'm like because people often seem quite different to other people. I'm like a human female in many ways - outwardly at least. I'm Salamander ... Salamander the Mugwump - at your service.

Well I do not think that I will talk to the Editor! I really do not mind sharing credit for anything!

Do you remember what you suggested by the way?

Well I will be sure to check out your page! And it was really nice meeting you!

Keep in touch!

Nobody Particular

That's ever so generous of you! I was the entity who suggested that those little wrigglers, the parasites - those "single-celled organisms", would be rather keen to be swallowed by we host organisms and their life cycle would depend on such swallowings. I can't remember what else, if anything, I said though. The moderators are busy moderating lots of old messages and the peer review thread we chatted in has temporarily disappeared with so many others.

I'll certainly keep in touch with you if you keep in touch with me. Sounds like a sound plan.

Sal

Ahh yes I do remember that you suggested that! A good suggestion to. I actually added that one myself there I thought it was so good of one.

Or did I? I really do not remember what I added and what the Editors did. Though the thing really turned out quite nice.

A sound plan indeed!

Take care!

Nobody Particular, we've been talking about you behind your back. Have a look at this thread: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F55683?thread=102480&post=859876#p859876 You might have something you want to add. Bye for now. Sal :)

Thank you for linking me to that conversation! I am glad that some rather nice things were said about me. Well, rather, no mean things were said I should say! But I doubt that you would link me to a thread in which I was being name dropped in!

Very interesting conversation really!

Nobody Particular

My pleasure, Nobody Particular. If I found anyone talking about you behind your back (good or bad), I'd tell you, believe me. But who'd say anything bad? I wouldn't happen, would it? Thought you'd like to know you'd made an impression on the folks and environment around you and given us pause for thought. What a star!

Sal

Ha! A star! I like that. Well it really is interesting that I did create some conversation.

It is good to know though that you would tell me if there was any name dropping on me going on. Though I doubt that there ever would be!

Keep up the good work!

Nobody Particular

Nobody Particular m'dear, are you there? Go and have a look at your Mexico's Drinking Water entry. There are several message dangling off the bottom of it. People have questions that need answers and conversations regarding the denizens of our drinkies.

To make sure you're alerted when a new message appears on the article, you need to click on the text at the bottom of the article about being notified of new conversations.

Speak to you later.
