Joe assures HonestIago that Laura was not his choosing, and that he was in fact renamed thus by two other members of the h2g2 community (who are, incidentally, the very ones who started all of the third-person speaking).

It is wondered by Muse if the passive voice can be incorporated into this lovey third-person convesation by all these intelligent researchers, and if so, how long it can be maintained?

Croz is chided by Muse for his sentence not having been written in passive voice, as per her suggestion.

Zak T Duck Posted Jun 1, 2004
After a quick check of dictionary, Croz wondered whether that action was a little harsh. Instead he shrugged it off so he could get on with ploughing through over a week of backlog.

Wotsit_thingamyjig Posted Jun 1, 2004
Wotsit, a relatively new and unexperienced Researcher, having also had a look at her dictionary, comes to the conclusion that maybe she is not one of the intelligent Researchers that was previously mentioned.
She also wonders if she will remember what her name is one day...

Muse abandons the whole passive-voice thing, says "Hi and welcome" to Wotsit, and observes that most of the so-called "intelligent" researchers on this site would probably find better things to do than spend time on this thread. Muse assures Wotsit that intelligence is not one of the most important qualities to look for in a Researcher.

Wotsit sighs with relief, cancels the appointment for the brain transplant, and settles down in blissful ignorance. She remembers to wave a hello to Muse and Mr. X first though.
