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

Hi whoami?

Just to let you know that I replied to your email from the other day, but my reply is 'undeliverable after 3 days'. Probably best to stick to h2g2 for communication anyway, but I thought I'd let you know.

OK - could you try again, but this time could you use a different address - try [email protected] and then remove the address? Thanks.

Whoami?

Well, as I said, it's 'probably best to stick to h2g2 for communication anyway'. My in-tray is far too busy to do one-on-one email communication outside the Beeb, when h2g2 is far more efficient for that sort of thing - sorry.

My answer, though, was:

"Thanks for letting me know. Of course, if you want to write to them suggesting coverage of DNA/h2g2, then I wouldn't be one to complain. It's probably worth noting that it's not surprising that they haven't mentioned DNA as it's only really known about internally in the BBC and on h2g2, and we don't exactly advertise h2g2 anywhere. Still, no harm in letting them know. "

My idea was essentially that online communities be regularly reported on by their members - you see, they dropped the page count and increased the price, which hasn't made them all that popular.

It's called .net because it's about the net, and online communities including DNA are part of that!

Whoami?

A good idea. Tell them about it!

I will.
