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

Wow. You certain have a lyrical bent. I hope you're planning on writing for the Guide. I really like your style!

Welcome to h2g2, Conrad Polytechnic! My name is Shea, and I am an Assistant Community Editor (ACE). We're a group of volunteers that wander around welcoming and helping new Researchers. If you want to ask me a question, or need help with anything, just hit the "Reply" button and leave a message, I'll come back in and help you in any way I can!

Have you checked out the Welcome pages yet? They're a good place to start:

If you're interested Conrad Polytechnic, I made a page with a list of links that you might like to check out. It's at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A534953

There's lots to do around h2g2! You can read and write Guide Entries, post in your Journal, join clubs and communities, have a few drinks in a pub, join spirited debate, or just make some new friends!

If you ever want to talk to a Researcher, just click on their name. That will take you to their Personal Space, and you can leave them a message there (like I'm doing now!) by clicking on the 'Discuss this Entry' button.

Most importantly Conrad Polytechnic, have fun! You might find yourself meeting some great new friends! I know I have!

- Shea the Sarcastic

Curse this new technology. My friend, I wrote a reply to your warm welcome not ten minutes ago, yet it seems to have been lost without trace, and I do not know whether my words of wisdom have been committed to the ether. If so, my humblest apologies. If not, thank you for kind words. I wrote, in case you did not receive my note, of my need to light the first fire of autumn in my rustic hearth, and of the comfort that I find in the darkening nights. I think that blighter Keats got to work first in committing these thoughts to verse, otherwise I would be inspired to write a poem.

Until next time, thank you. I suggested that you rasie your right arm if you type anything sarcastic, and in this way we will all know where we stand.

I've written things that have evaporated into the ether also, CP!

You are most welcome! One of the sad facts of life in the 21st century is that a lot of good poetry has already been written about the basics ... perhaps you can wax poetic about your words being committed to the ether ...

And you'll generally know when I'm being sarcastic by the I'll put after a sarcastic remark.

See you around!
