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

But, in fact it's only been three years. Three years today in fact, so happy birthday to me.

Having said that, hootoo is indeed very life changing. Directly or indirectly, h2g2 has been responsible for my choice of partner, my choice of house, my choice of location and my choice of job. Can anyone beat that?

Nyssa, maybe...

Congratulations!

Can't beat your record on life-changingness...plus I've only been here a couple of years.

Happy anniversary!

I'm not sure I can beat it, but I can match it. I now have a full time career and I bought a house, thanks entirely to h2g2, never mind indirectly. And most of my close friends are from h2g2.

I've never met the partner of my dreams on h2g2 because my dreams appear to be too wild.

If it's your 3rd birthday, then that means I've just missed mine. Hey ho...

Bloody hell, I must have been here about 3 yrs now too...

I think we are quite a few who can at least match it.

Congratulations!

And it was about ten past two in the afternoon that you joined, so that makes you right now, 3 years and about 15 minutes old.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday

I've been here almost 3 years now too ,not a lot to show for it though apart from a couple of nasty post meet hangovers and embarrassing ex's

He is subscribed to this journal, you know...

B

Which one?

a certain researcher just named her sprog after you btw

How do you find out when your first post was?

"a certain researcher just named her sprog after you"

Really? That girl she was expecting?

B

With difficulty. I used to have a tool that would let me do it, but I can't access it anymore.

You just trawl through your list of old conversations, substituting number into the address bar.

In you case, Bob, of the 1,937 conversations you are subscribed to, the oldest ones date from 12 Dec 2001:

F76594?thread=156292

F79153?thread=152728&skip=12

Which shows he was as paranoid and screwed up then as he is now.

B

What happens if you've unsubscribed from your first conversation?

I think they realised a few weks ago he wasn't going to be a girl

If everybody has unsubscribed from it, then only the Italics, who have a way of interrogating the database directly, can find it. If someone else is still subscribed to the conversation, then it is conceivable that someone might stumble across it, but there is no systematic way for the likes of you or me to find it.

Well that's something of a relief.

It's a nice name. I've never objected to it.
