Sounds good. I can see how you play - but not how you join in playing! I'd like to be in on this, but how do I do it?

Well, I just joined in 
(I've perhaps upset some strict protocol, but everyone's too polite to mention)

Protocol, here, 
Just subscribe to the conversation list on the bottom of the main H2IQ page, Greebo posts a question at odd times of the day (one per day) and if you've subscribed, a conversation will pop up on your list with just the date mentionned - see all the other conversations in this list.
If you're the first one to answer, you get a point...
It's as simple as that...
PS. It doesn't harm to offer the host cat 
s from time to time.... She's got rather sharp claws.

And maybe a practical point, unsubscribe the dayly conversations after Greebo has given the point (and this does not start a protest conversation). Otherwise your conversationlist will get clogged with 'dead' conversations

...and unsubscribe to the forum when you're going to be gone for awhile, too. leave maybe one thread you're subscribed to, for ease of getting back.

At least the first part of your list is quite busy, Bagpuss!

That's true, I sometimes lose conversations merely in all the active ones, though, so the inactive ones probably make it worse.

Why unsubscribe? The old quizzes drop back quite happily on their own anyway, and if anything is going on with an old question - I'll want to know what it is!
When the quiz started, you did have to sign up officially, but that is just a kind way of asking Greebo to put you on the scoreboard. Now you'll automatically get put on if you win a point. So now all you have to do is watch out for Greebo being on line and jump in first when she sets the question.
You should also be aware that Greebo is very very fond of s and does not like Marmite or clowns. She is very clever and very fair.

Hi Cadi Merchionamercheluned... what a large name... ~grin~... as everyone says... please do just join in... the conversations alone in the H2IQ are worth reading cause they are so intelligently written and often very funny... the H2IQer's are a wonderfully charming bunch of like minded folk...

Hmmmm... Sounds like fun! Mayhaps I shall join in! But does any one know how to unsubscribe from the conversation list? No one seems to know, its like some weird SEP.

Not quite sure what you mean?
If you want to "stop being notified of new Conversations about this entry", you should click the link saying that at the bottom of the Conversation list for the Entry (where you originally "subscribed").
(If you're using frames it's at the very bottom of the left panel)
