Omicron - Master of Hyperspace and Chanter of arcane superstring equations

Hi Cloughie, and welcome to H2G2. I'm Omicron, one of your friendly neighbourhood Aces(Assistant Community Editors). Its our job to welcome new researchers to the Guide. If you have any questions, feel free to ask one of us or drop by the Aces Homepage at http://www.h2g2.com/A246719 . If we can't answer your question, we'll find someone who can! Oh and, by the way, I've read the Hitchhiker books too, only in my case it was about 13 days ago. You should go on and finish reading them, they're guaranteed to give you a good laugh. You'll also come across a lot of people with names out of the original books...See you in a forum sometime!

Hi Cloughie saw your message on the ACEs page so popped over here to say hi. I see you already have a who online link on your page so you can target those who share your timespace if you want responses most of my friends on here share the same sort of times as me, it makes for almost instananiuos conversation, but I do talk to some people on a one post a day basis as well, being on opposite sides of the world.

Hello demon drawer,

What's the ettiquette here, reply on my page or go to yours? This is my first chat experience and I seemed to have picked a complicated site, but I swim better in water that's over my head.

Reply here is good. You can visit my page if you want. If there's someone out there you want to leave a message for thier page is the best place to post, unless it is a response to one of thier articles or postings in which case just press reply and get invovled right there. Don't worry it may seem complicated at present but everyone hereabouts is reasonably friendly and will help as much as they can especially to a new kid on the block. In fact once you are established you get to know who to ask what to and life here really becomes fun. smiley - smiley

Cool.

Looks like the coffee shop is the place to be right now. See you there?

To finish answering the question you asked DD, I'm going to be a pest and ignore what he said. smiley - winkeye

Um, right. What happens when you reply to a thread that someone else has posted in is that the response then moves up to the top of their recent forum postings so they'll see someone has replied since they have last. The flaw in this, of course, is that if someone replies to something you have no interest in following, and it's a conversation you had nearly a year ago, it's still going to pop up to the top of your list. The bright side, once again (see my other post), is in the future, in that you will soon be able to flag or unflag conversations you no longer want to participate in, or ones you'd like to follow avidly.

If that makes any sense. Too much coffee makes me chatty and incoherent.

Then, of course, there are those who will claim that I'm ALWAYS chatty and incoherent, to which I reply that I ALWAYS drink too much coffee. smiley - smiley

Oh, and Mama Peta's Restaurant is also another place to be. DD has a link someplace.

Probably because the restaurant has opened, and I need some staff, for the first customer.

Hey! Why is everybody forgetting about me? I mean, I'm the guy who started this conversation, right?

Ho hum, back to business...Well, feel free to visit my page as well, I desperately want to get my counter above 100, you see, and at last count it was just 40, so I think I have a long way to go...

Do you think someone should come up with an article on H2G2 etiquette? I'm sure newcomers would welcome it!

Hi Omicron,

First, I didn't mean to ignore you yesterday. I would have been happy to talk to anyone who replied.

Second, why did your link to the Aces home page send me to the Jeet Kune Do page? Was that on purpose? Anyway, it seems I screwed up my home page by putting a long line of smiley - smiley's in my journal, (I was pretty excited.) I'm looking for someone to fix it, maybe the editor? I'll check the Aces page if I can get there from here (ha ha).

Third, Yes, I think an etiquette entry would be good, but would anyone look at it? I might, being new to chat rooms and such.

Later.
