Hi Crystal Butterfly ,

Noce to meet you

I think I'm kind of getting to know my way around here, didn't post to too many conversations yet, but I did read a lot.

I think I'm still kind of shy, most conversation have been going on for a while already and everybody know everybody else so well already, and you have to read about 30 posts back just to understand the few most recent.

Kind of wierd to come in and start talking in a conversation that's been going on for months and sometimes a year or so.

I like your page, I think the signature you chos is nice and fitting . I do have some criticism about the choice of colours in the table of the dropdown list of all the aces, but maybe you use Alabaster and it looks better that way.

Oops, this is how it was supposed to come out:

Hi!

I'm an ACE too and I just wanted to add the imprint of my jaw hitting the floor at your very signature.

Thank you both!

HHH, the people here very rarely read all the backlog, as the subject changes with the weather
You are most welcome to join in any discussion with your point of view you can always explain that you are a newcomer to the guide {a newbie} and I think you will find most people will welcome your input.
You can also talk to people on their own space by clicking on their name, and then "click here to discuss this" then type something.
Everyone I have met this way have been friendly!
What you describe as "reading" is called "lurking" here, the greatest lurker of all was DNA
We used to see him online but he never posted.

I didn't know there was a problem with the colour of my ACE dropdown list?
I use Classic GOO, not Alabaster.

Thank you for replying, HHH and thank you Clive for dropping by!

Unlike your rather nice butterflies a smiley denoting a large flightless bird being propelled at high speed by a very large rocket pack has oddly eleuded the "to-do" list of the artists at the Towers.

Still, I live in Hope.

Clive.

P.S Just took a look at your page HHH and you *too* have a very funky signature.

*sniff*

Thanks Clive, and thanks CB for your fine advice.

I guess I'll lurk more than post myself then

HHH

Are you still lurking?

Sorry, I don't come to my personal space to often, so I didn't respond too much.

Yes' I'm lurking alot, I am reating TONS of backlog and it teaches me so much about this place and about almost everything. I think I have read about 2 years worth of backlog in the past weeks, but I never post, I'm just this much of a true lurker

HHH

You should put a Lurker Badge on your homepage, and also tell people they can contact you, because looking at your message center (?) it looks like youre one of those who came for a week and never returned.

Hi Dancer, I just used your signiture on the scapegoat service, I was trying not to make any mistakes in the corner, and then all of the sudden your signiture appeared there after I posted.

I don't really know how or why I caused it, but I am truely sorry and am taking the full responsibility. IT IS MY COMPLETE FAULT!

To amend I will put a lurker badge as you said

If you feel you need a scapegoat or want to see other people balme stuff on me and ming mang, just come to "The Scapegoat Service":
http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A368057

HHH

Oh, I know all about the Scapegoat service, even had it on my nick for a while

I saw what you did, and I would blame and curse you for it, but were off the scapegoat service page, So I'll just forgive you

So why don't you ever post anything?


Dancer

hehe, thanks

I'll tell you why I don't post when you get back home, it's too much bulls**t philosophy even for H2G2

HHH

Sure , oh and it's signature, not signiture you little brat.


Dancer

Oh Dancer!
You really should apologize for that remark.
I make spelling mistakes all the time!


Sorry HHH.
Spelling is not at all important on h2g2, unless you are writing entries for the Guide of course.

How is the lurking going?


Crystal

He isn't as much around as he was before, he has a new job, and it is outside, so no internet in office, just home.

I think it is a good punishment for him, for joining S*T*A*T*S

Yours,

Dancer

So you were teasing then?
Sorry Dancer.


Crystal

what teasing?

I'll see HHH this weekend if you want me to tell him anything. I'll also tell him to logon and reply to people. He did use to lurk alot, just that he is busier now, as his job involves driving around instead of sitting and reading stuff off the internet now.


Yours,

Dancer
