Maverick {'Doc, I get a stabbing pain in my eye every time I drink tea.' 'Take the spoon out'.} Started conversation Feb 1, 2005
There was a time when h2g2 was a . com and not a .co.uk. I was here then, reading mostly. Unfortunately, I cannot access that earliest account. This account dates back to 2000, just a couple of months before the BBC took over the site and promptly locked everyone out.
I first found h2g2.com while doing a search for information about Douglas Adams. The HHGTTG books and I go way back to 1983. I was amazed that it had come to pass that the idea of a living breathing guide to life, the universe and everything was now a reality. The vastness of h2g2 did not frighten me. Instead, I was awestruck by the capability that what was intended as a silly idea had to bring people together from everywhere around the world.
I have read a lot of things on this site. Most of it was worth reading. There is something for almost everyone: Serious threads about weighty matters, silly threads to pass the time of day or night and almost everything in between.
What I cannot and will not abide is the abuse of h2g2. This is not the place for A/S/L. Nor is this the place for petty bickering and small minded vendettas.

It is indeed an amazing, living thing, isn't it? I've only been about it for 10-11 months and I'm always astounded. I can fully appreciate your care and concern of mis-uses and abuse of the aims of DNA, noble as they were.
Very well stated, friend.

I still have the original membership email... with the beware of the leopard url.

I know, but I will still fight for h2g2 to be something DNA would be proud to have started.

What is "A/S/L", Maverick?
I wasn't fortunate enough to find h2g2 so early on.

It is in the most part I think...just a few who want to use it as a battle ground
