Hi Sprout,
I have just received an email from the h2g2 Team, telling me that my Entry has been accepted for the Edited Guide; namely: 'The Real Cost of Improving Your Home'. We all know that this is, sadly, not my Entry, but is your excellent piece of work, to which my contribution was a tiny fraction of the whole!
I am both flattered and pleased for you to recognize my small contribution, via the Conversation Forum, for your piece, but I think the h2g2 Team are wrong in referring to your work as mine! I have told them so in a reply to their email.
I feel that the system should be revised and the original author be shown separately from any other contributors.
My heartiest congratulations on YOUR Guide Entry being accepted. Well deserved!
Ron.

Hi Ron
I agree with your suggestion re the way the credits are organised - it's been on their list for a while.
Still, it's not a big problem - I see they've done a nice picture for it - let's see if it gets any interesting comments or stories while it's on the front page!

Hi again, Sprout,
Do you think the Editors will ever get around to altering the system of credits? How long has it been on the cards for; do we know?
Looks good on the Front Page!
You/We can sit back now and watch the next stage, eh?
Ron
