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

Being old has its privileges. For one, you're always right at the top of the online list.

For two...well, that's about it, really.

That is exactly the goal I've had in mind every single time I try to get my things back. It would really only be to do actual research and actual contributing, but the prima donna in me won't do it from the middle of some list of—of who, of NOBODY. Not doing it.

They can't figure out how to dig those accounts back out of the bottom of the system, so we're stuck like this.

And as of today, my login created yet another page for me, and I'm not convinced that it isn't going to do so every single time I sign in. It may well be a second iteration of the same problem I had in the first place.
