And here are some links you might find helpful, where many Researchers like you and me are hanging out:

http://www.h2g2.com/F44378 - Virtual swimming pool

http://www.h2g2.com/A364646 - Discuss Teenage Issues

http://www.h2g2.com/A214796 - ACEs Homepage, where you can find out everything you want to know from the Assisstant Community Editors such as myself

If you check out the Five Busiest Forums and World of h2g2 on the front page ( http://www.h2g2.com ) daily, you'll usually find the places where most people are.

I also read your Entry on nonconformity - very good, descriptive, and well written. I also saw that you submitted it - I would think it should be Approved .

Unfortunately, the Approval process takes about 10 to 16 weeks , so expect a wait.

But the wait is worth it. Yep good article.

Gee, it's nice to have all the attention. I seriously wasn't expecting to be so warmly (and promptly) welcomed. Thank you.

Just helping you to move in. Where do you want this pot plant?

*DD walks in from removal van carry humongous pot plant*

Stick it in that large vat of nuclear waste in the corner. We want it to mutate...I mean...grow big and strong, don't we?

OK.

*Looks warily at newcomer*

*Thinks*

Didn't Wampus see the Triffids?

Triffids?

Right, the TRIFFIDS... you know... those things... right...

*blank look*

Here you are...
_________________________________

A terrible catastrophe has struck the population of Earth. Almost everyone on the planet has been rendered blind by the arrival of a bright comet and its debris lighting up the darkened skies, but the brightness has caused permanent eye damage. Bill Masen, who was unable to watch the spectacular but deadly free firework display, finds himself in a nightmarish world where he believes himself to be the only sighted person left. But soon he finds a soul-mate, Jo Pleyton, who can also see. As the days progress, they find more and more sighted people and together they make plans to build a future. But there is a problem. A walking, carnivorous plant called a "Triffid," which up until now was kept safely in paddocks and zoos, has broken free and has discovered a taste for rotting, human flesh. The remaining blind are helpless and many fall prey to the Triffids' lethal whipping sting, but can the sighted keep this fearful plant at bay?

Ahh...so that's what that means.

Hi Wampus, I am Abi and I am the Deputy Community Editor. I see you are surrounded by a host of researchers. So welcome from me too!

So is that the collective term for us. How perfectly normal is that. A host of researchers.

It's better than others I can think of. A tribe of researchers? A regiment of researchers? A load of researchers?

How about an improbability of researching? How many of us actually research the topics we post about, rather than just pulling the knowledge out of our ears (or other, lower bodily orifices)?

For any Guide Entries I write, I make sure what I am saying is correct (OK I normally write about something I am fairly sure about, but I still try and check the details As for fora, I normally just make them up on the fly

So what is the benefit in becoming an ACE, other than having that snazzy symbol on your home page?
