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

Just a little news

I have received an e mail from a site I contribute Run by a Professor in the facility by the University of Athens. They have published their 2019 calendar for distribution to their members. I am pleased to say I have had a landscape photograph for JULY 2019. As you are interested I thought you might like to share the moment.

Link to the calendar, Funded by the Greek Government.

Bob! This is an amazing moment! What a wonderful achievement! Well done, dear fellow. Thanks for sharing.

Could you try resending the link, it opens but says 'The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect'. Whatever syntactically means.

Check that’s actually from bob!

Scary. Think this is spam. What do I do?

You did the right thing - report it as spam by using the Yikes button. It has been hidden. Mods will do the rest.

If any of you ever believe that somebody is posting on your account without permission, please:

1. Yikes the post and say it wasn't you.
2. Change your password.
3. Let moderators@ know if you need further help.

Praise be the Mods! (Not a phrase easily said by a biker!)

OK! Thank you all so so much. Bit scary. Really appreciate everyone's help.

Thanks techs/mods, and Mister D and everyone, and for FWR who did a really good neighbourhood watch thing back there for me, I didn't notice the rogue capital letters in the name. Scary, plays with trust, you think its a post from a friend.

Well, at least I'll know what to do next time. And can help out anyone else that it happens to. Will go change password.

heheh. Mods. FWR biker.

Just doing my job ma'am!

Somebody please tell Bob to change his password.

Aha, people. Mystery solved. bobstafford did, indeed, send the message.

It was just a bad link, I suspect.

You can all go back to worrying about whatever you were worrying about before this happened.

What??? The real bobstafford did send the message?? About the calendar? So I didn't congratulate an electronic overlord, and thank him for sharing?

I contacted my mate bob?

Is life sweet, or not?

Well, seriously, we could see this as a good fire drill, emergency training. Good to know what to do in the case of invasion. And it is good we look out for each other.



So .. now, where's my shopping list. Where's my list??? Who took my list???

OK, so just to confirm, it seems that this posting was authentically from you bob!

Which is fortunate, in fact, because it means that there wasn't someone trying to post in your name, or attempting any other corrupt or wearisome trick.

It looks at if the link was incompatible, so thankyou again to the Moderators, and all.

I would ask you to re send the link, bob, but I think I'm a bit link wary at the moment.

However my congratulations on the achievement you mention in your posting remain intact and sincere.
