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

Are you a dectret agent and must kill us if you tell us your real name, or is Dave DeRock just an alter ego?

Anyway:
Welcome to H2G2, I'm glad you've found the site, and hope you enjoy it here.

There's lots of useful, useless, fun and interseting stuff here. Sometimes people are too nice and I need to make fun of them a bit, but then we laugh at other people and all is well.

I've been around this site for a few years, on and off. Creating original pieces of writing, reading the creations of others, chatting and creating a little Universe of my own within the H2G2 realm is awesome. If you run across something and discover that you have a question, ask! It may take a few days to get a response from the author, but you'll probably get one, or start a great conversation.

My name is Friar. I'm from Chicago, Ill., USA. I'm in medical school now, but I'll be finishing in May 2003 *he knocks on wood fervently*

Friar, The BigDawg

No, I'm not a secret (I presume that's what you meant) agent. Just an alter ego that developed after I divorced 5 years ago. New life, new name I suppose.
Thanks for the links, I'll definitely try out the GuideML clinic.

Sorry 'bout the typo. I gotta log off before I fall asleep. Bad things happen when I don't.
