Post 1

The H2G2 Editors

As usual, the h2g2 offices will be closed from 23 December - 4 January. We'll still be able to monitor the site and help out where possible, but messages sent to any of our feedback addresses may not be answered within the normal time-frame.

Moderation will continue as normal, but if you mail us directly during this time we'll get back to you on our return.

We'd like to wish you all a happy Christmas and very best wishes for 2005!

**realises it would be more produceive to replace both the Italics and the towers in one go**


Happy festive season

What are we going to do without you? Who are we going to make fun of smiley - winkeye and come running to when it all goes pear-shaped smiley - wah

I suppose you deserve a holiday to rest up for the onslaught of questions, queries and moans we will have saved up for you over the festive period smiley - tongueout

Seriously, have a good time and stay off the cooking sherry! (and no sneaking back online for a quick peak at h2g2 while you wait for the turkey/veggie option to cook smiley - winkeye)

Moderation? I didn't think there was anything moderate about H2G2. smiley - tongueout

But seriously, you should be able to enjoy your holiday period without having to worry that the site will go belly up and be just a pileofr smoldering ashes when you get back. smiley - smiley

Not that I expect that. smiley - whistle
