Hello Lurker ...

Hello, I'm Zathras and I am an Assistant Community Editor (ACE), and I'd like to welcome you to h2g2!
If you are finding H2G2 a bit confusing and bewildering (I know I did at first) there are lots of options to get help.
For now, if you need any help either click the help button to get access to the help documentation or, if you prefer a more human(?) 
face simply reply to this message - I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
If you're planning to dive straight in (please don't just lurk or we'll never know what your opinions are) that is great (the life of H2G2 is its researchers)- but before you start writing articles you may want to check out http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/GuideML-Clinic
It's an introduction to GuideML, which is a Markup Language (like HTML) we use in the Guide. It's very easy to use, and makes Guide entries look much better.
Remember if you need help or just want to have a chat, feel free to reply to this message.

Continuing with the welcome, I'm Lady Elly, a scout, Muse of Care and Guardian of the wrong foot, here to offer my help on anything, if you find it necessary. Being married to a lurker makes me really understanding- so don't be shy 
! 
Cheers! Welcome!!

Sad that only the shocking news about DNA bought me back here.

There is a lot of traffic caused by DNAs death, and a lot of community spirit. If you haven't already you might want to visit DNA's homepage at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/U42

I actually thought you gave up...
And the community spirit is always there- maybe stronger due to this tragedy, but it's always there!
