Thanks for that, Feisor! How do you pronounce that, by the way? It's a much more unusual name than the one I picked, but it's what I always use on computer games, so I'm used to it by now. I am interested in The H2G2 Post - what can you tell me about it?

Cheers,

Phoenix

Good to hear from you

My Name BTW is pronounced Fy-sor - to rhyme with eyesore

The Post is our regular newspaper you'll find it at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/thepost

It comes out each Thursday and is editted be the inimitable Shazz
Cartoons, interviews, articles - it's fun

Enjoy
Let me know if you have any questions ....

Thanks for your help, Feisor!

I think I'll have to have a look at the Post one of these days. Do you have any other tips about things I should do on H2G2, like join one of the societies or something?

Thanks

Oh drat! I've been pronouncing Feisor's name wrongly for months!! I've been going with the version which sounds more like "visa" - you've tipped my world upside down with this!!

Hi Phoenix - hope you enjoy the guide...if you've got any questions and Feisor (it doesn't sound right now! ) isn't around, feel free to drop me a line

Phoenix - I suggest that you go to the Post link in my first posting - in the list of links is a list of the clubs and societies - just pick whatever interests you - they are all very friendly places and great for meeting people.

Cafram - don't worry about it - to paraphrase a movie - "At hootoo no-one can hear you mispronounce"
Anyway - I'll answer to anything.
