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

seems i can't have an entry go to front page any more without someone getting uppity about it!

sometimes i wonder why i bother

Now what?

That's ridiculous, do you still have the link to the PR thread? I seem to recall that it was discussed there, and all agreed that it's not about cancer, but about the test - and in the UK.
Ignaorant, that.

theres not a lot i can do about it now

big al has just brought up the peer review thread saying he and others also said i should mention the vaccine!

But he sais in the end that you shuldn't do - it's a confusing post anyway.

exactly! heres the pr thread anyway http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/plain/F4975927?thread=3416624

Yes, thanks. It's been discussed and agreed upon, that's what I thought anyway. I really don't see why you should have had to mention a vaccine - would it prevent wmen from having a smear test? Probably not, eh?

I really don't know.. getting fed up of being pulled apart 'after' pr though!

Yes, I'm sorry about this.

It's hardly your fault

hey we could start selling tickets, or have a betting ring on who i'll annoy next

Brilliant idea - but then again, I couldn't even guess, to be honest.

Am i really that annoying?

And there was me only today trying to think of a new subject to write on as i've a fair bit of time on my hands this week ..should i bother? really?

Yes, yes and thrice yes! You write well, your entries are informative and interesting. Don't give up! I would hate you to do that!

Mags

thanks

got any ideas then mags? im all out at the mo

theres something up with your msn by the way

Hi S, I re-read that article and frankly I think the point has been missed. It is quite clear it's about the test and test methods and diagnosis and no way intended to go into detail on the cancer or types of cancer itself. That would be an article on it's own and would require a lot of technical stuff translating into laymans terms too. The vaccine being talked about would also be part of a cancer article under other treatments. This article is'nt about treatment, it's about testing and diagnosis. I think it's just fine.

You keep writing, you're doing chuffin well.

thanks

I entirely agree. I've read the entry and it is fine. You do touch on treatment, but only at the early stages. Keep writing, your entries are extremely read worthy and do cover some great subjects.
