Greetings, Zugzwang here (211880). I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to be a scout. If I understand correctly, I am looking for the "good stuff". Having worked for the (a) government for many years now and having written or assisted in writing more than a few government manuals...I know what is bad.
This in itself makes me a good Scout n'est pas?
I await your reply good sirs and madams...

Dear Zugzwang,
Thanks for volunteering! I've added you to the list and will be in touch with you in a few weeks. In the meantime it would be a good idea for you to spend some time in Peer Review to get to grips with the reviewing process. Getting to know people in the Community would be a good idea too, askh2g2 is good for this 
If you have any questions, just shout!

Thank You Anna,
I have been looking around, still getting comfortable, but I really enjoy this place. I understand that this is the Holiday Season and that other priorities may be taking place, so I await your reply.
Thank You again.

This is a very funny story. While courting a lovely lady, I found a common interest...The Guide.
We were not having a particularly good couple of days (if you want to know the whole story, just ask, I could problably use the release valve)...a lot of stress so I decided to break the ice. Posted a page with some Vogon poetry for a laugh and while looking for some, I came across the BBC Vogon poetry generator. That of course led me strait here!
Cool er what!

Sorry this took so long. It has been a long couple of days. So a romantic are you? Or at least you like hearing the story. It is a fairly long one, so I will post it for you somewhere else on the net. When it is done, check back and I will give you the address, if you are interested.

Sure, yes, I am a sucker for a romantic story But why don't you post it somewhere on h2g2? There's plenty of h2g2 romantics you know, people have met and married on here you know!

Ok, you talked me into it. Where should I post this for the "world to see?" It is against my better judgement, but we can change the names to protect the innocent LOL.
Show me where
