Any special recommendations you have to offer wpould be great. You probably know I'm new to this so any tips will be amazingly great.
Ok you said you like it when people talk to you, so what do you want to talk about? What do people talk about here?

Hi there!

My name? The Mistdancer bit is my regular net name, used in may places!! The other stuff is subject to change, but the CSA stuff there at the moment is explained in my journal on my space.

The best thing to do is lurk! Wander about, read stuff, and jump in when you feel the need! The links on my links page ( I left the link to this in the first posting) are a good place to start.

You won't get lost, you can just click the My Space button, and hey presto!!!!

Smileys are cool. To go to the page, click on one! They work like this... < smiley > without the spaces To see the codes for them, hover your cursor over one, and it should pop pu. They all work the same, with the word put inbetween <>

Helpful???

Hi ya!!
Thanks for that. I guess I just need to have a basic idea what I'm doing - which I never really do, that's how I barely passed A-level maths. Oh well!
So tell me something interesting. How'd you get into this?
I've read Hitchhiker, taped it when it was on TV, watch a tonne of other sci-fi and found the website for this site in a magazine. So I thought what the heck and signed up.
Well better go do some work.
Bye bye!

Hello again!

I got into this by accident! I was on the babel fish translator thingy, and there was a link saying "why babelfish"? So I clicked it, and here I am!! And yes, I've got all the books too! And all the Dirk Gently ones.

How's it going here? You finding the interesting stuff? There's lots of it!

Ok so what are the Dirk Gently books like? I haven't read any of them.
What's the answer to "why babel fish?"??? It's an interesting question with many possible answers..Could be the Ultimate Question to Life the Universe and Everything. You know, why babel fish? 42. Doen't really work though does it? Oh well.
Though who really wants their brain diced to find the question to the answer???
Well better go here. got a seminar soon.
