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

Lucinda, hi.

I'm answering here because tonight I'm tidying up and stopping posting about the whole thing. I didn't think you insulted me, for what it's worth. I didn't mean to sound patronising, and I didn't take any offence.

Post 297/298 was an inadvertant double post by me. Somebody else (I forget who) tried to yikes it because it bothered them in several ways, including inferred threats among many other problems. However, the inference was made on such slight evidence that the italics failed to remove it. If anyone cares, it wasn't a threat. However, since it *could* be read that way, and somebody else yikesing it didn't get it taken down, I yikesed it myself. If it gets put back up there after the author has asked for it to be taken down, well, I did what I could. I'll be going round yikesing other stuff that might have bothered people over the next few days, so if stuff starts disappearing from threads regarding this, assume it's me trying to minimise the offence I've clearly caused. I've tried to post the best information I can find. In the opinion of others, I've not been much of a researcher. Apparent "lies" I've posted will therefore start to disappear over the next day or two.

Please feel free to respond to this post, and please do not be offended if I fail to respond to any future queries on this subject. I promised to stop talking about it last night, but Barton apologised to me (albeit slightly backhandedly) and I felt that required a response. There will be nothing further.

Understood and thanks for telling me. It appears to be permanently hidden now, so it looks like your request has been honoured.
