Hello Word-Lover,

I'm amazed by all your sums! So you could be called Number-Lover too.
Clever stuff. I like the word thingies too - but for some reason they need straightening up as they're no longer aligned correctly - they were when I viewed them a few days ago. Perhaps a different skin has affected them?

Anyway, I was just visiting and trying to acquaint myself better with h2g2. I can't do any of the fancy stuff in my intro yet. I like yours saying hello to me by name! Bit of a surprise at first!

Best wishes,

MJ

Yes, Mabel Jane, I am definitely a number-lover as well. My h2g2 number offers a restricted scope because of the repeated digits, but they happen to be amenable to making 42.

If my word squares aren't appearing right, it might be the skin you are using. It looks OK to me in brunel and alabaster. Which skin are you using?

I think that DNA and h2g2 might be good enough for some purposes, but they are no good for the chats we like in Mustardland. What do you think of them?

Yes, I still miss Latest messages but My Discussions is quite handy and I've been having fun leaving silly messages on h2g2 conversation thingies like this one where nobody gets cross when you wander off-topic as I am wont to do. In fact it is a positively good thing to go off-topic as it's much more entertaining! MJ :-)

BTW I have a program which finds expressions that use a specified set of digits and give a specified total, and I've just given it my and your user numbers. It came up with

(you) (2+1) * (2+5) * (1-4+5)
(me) (1+1+6+0)*7 - (7+7)
