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

i was very surprised to see that you had an article in the post this week, as i thought you had left the site quite some time ago. so i did some quick checking and discovered that you are indeed the same wilson that i thought was no longer here and you've returned... but now i'm puzzled again it seems the only thing you've written in the past year is the article for this week's post.

so now you're probably wondering just who the heck i am anyway and why i'm even interested. as it turns out i'm the current herald of heaven, and i've recently reorganized a master list of all the angels ever sainted. you happen to be on my list, but since the only page i had seen is the one you've misplaced the password for and i thought you'd gone i've listed you as being retired.

if you are indeed still hanging around, i'd be happy to move you to the active part of the list and change the link to your new space. or if you prefer, you can remain retired. glad to see you anyway, i'm always happy to see some of the older researchers who've stayed on (or in some cases come back).

it's not brown, but it's the closest our smileys have come to a bear:

regards (do bears drink champagne?)

Hello broelan, so nice of you to stop by. Sorry it has been so long before I managed to reply to you, only five months, must be some sort of record.

I am sorry to have puzzled you, in fact the vey thought of it made me feel very depressed. I hate feeling depressed, it makes me so depressed you know.

I am not retired, no, Teddy Bears don't retire. Sometimes we get forgotten at the bottom of a dusty cupboard, left alone for years and years until we go mad in our solitude. But never retire.

I suppose you can call me an old researcher of you so wish, better than some of the names I have been called in my time. I won't bore you by repeating them to you, I would not like to frighten you off since you took the time to bother writing to me in the first place. Very kind of you. Very kind of you indeed. Not that I am worth bothering about, but it was kind non the less.
