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

Hi there! My name is Solnushka and I'm an ACE. Basically this means that I am one of a group of volunteers who races around welcoming new researchers like yourself, spelling really badly and trying to help out where I can.

So if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to click on the reply button at the bottom of this post and ask away. Or, if you want to go to my page you just depress the delightful blue represtentation of my name above to be whisked away instantly. Once there, activating the 'Discuss this Entry' button allows you top talk about whatever you want. Needless to say you can do this with any other researchers too...

Anyway, here are some links for you. You are at total liberty to ignore them, of course...The welcome page: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/Welcome

The smiley page (actually you can go there by clicking on any smiley such as this one ) : http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/Smiley

A really big guide to lots of the clubs, societies, gangs etc you can get involved in: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A270325

Ask h2g2, where you can ask anything except 'What is the meaning of life, the universe and everything?':

Peer Review is where you can preview and review entries which are vying to get into the Edited Guide. You can click on the banner at the top of the page for that...

I'm assuming you are having no problems with Guide ML, so no link here...

I see you are a fellow alto. There are a couple of societies for music lovers. I'll go off and scare them up now... Back in a bit...

What is a community hack?

Okey dokey...

The Musicians Guild, of which I am a proud member is at:

Hope you enjoy yourself here at h2g2. Hope the plethora of links hasn't put you off!

See you around (if not before).

Many apologies for the enormous delay in replying, and many thnks for your huge list of links to various places (especially to the musicians guild and choral group which I've now asked to join).

And to reply to your first message second, again atrociously late...

A committee hack is someone who seems to gravitate towards the organisational core of a group and consequently ends up being on the committee at the centre, usually for too many years! I shoudl write a guide entry really...
