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

I'm sorry to be critical, but why do you consider yourself worthy of not only stealing a name (Zaphod) from works by the founder of h2g2, but lifting two paragraphs from tHHGttG the novel, WITHOUT CREDITING THE AUTHOR WHATSOEVER?

You list in your page that you're an artist; you should be creative and make up your own name. If not, then at least have the good grace to not steal one from the (now lamented) founder of this site.

respectfully but critically yours,

OK geVmage you've made yer point. I've been meaning to update my homepage since I registered a few months back but not quite got round to it. Thanks for giving me the impetus to recognise that great author in the sky. With respect, I don't share your objection to using the name Zaphod (and by the way there's several on the site) since I kinda identify with the character, and also imitation being the best form of flattery 'an all. To me it's a form of endearment and RESPECT. I also checked out early on whether it was cool or not with the powers that be on H2G2 and they saw no problem with it. Two other things:
1. What's your view on Elvis impersonators? (i.e taking his name).
2. *plagiarism* is spelt like I've just spelt it. Can't accuse you of plagiarising the word.
3. No, I'm not a keeper of anything, as so many researchers seem to be. Perhaps that'll change that one day.
See Ya
Zaphod

Nothing like dealing with experts.

Guess I'll have to change my nickname and it's banner...

Aha! So tonsil revenge leaves a clue to his name!

I've been wrasslin' with the name 'tonsil revenge' for months. I've begged him to explain it. I've even hinted he should change it if he won't come clean about it. And here he is leaving little clues in the most obscure hidey-holes. The plod thickens, wot!

*waves to Zaphod*
