A very popular place is the <./>ASKH2G2</.> , ( Don't forget to click on the "SEE MORE CONVERSATIONS" link at the bottom of that page ) that is were you can ASK what ever you want and maybe answer some of the questions that are there, or just join in with the conversations as they often go off topic

or you might like to look at the <./>FRONTPAGE</.> (there are a lot of links on the right of that page )

Or the PeerReview

If you click HERE >> U193090 it will take you to my page, were you will find that I have put some links to other places that I thought you might find interesting, including the <./>DontPanic-Tour</.> page that is all ways a good place to start

Hi Manda - Sorry I havent replied - I've been pretty busy recently btw thanks for the - two sugars pls, but I'll have to pass on the as I'm supposed to be on a diet !

Thanks very much about the helpful info. I appreciate it.

I'm about to have a good look around to see if there is a place for general posts. I've had an idea about "The Big Read" on BBC2 tonight. I dont know if you have watched it, but basically it's about finding the uk's favourite book. It would be interesting to see how many people vote for a hitchhiker book..

manda

Apologies for the time it has taken to reply - been real busy

Sonorus

Hi again Manda!

Just a quick query I hope ...

I've had an article taken into peer review. After looking at an article about peer review and how a copy of the original is made and the copy edited etc, I was wondering if I should delete the original if/when the edited version appears.

BTW the article is A1040734 - the original one anyhow

Hi Sonorus

there is no need to delete the original enrty, it will always be your,

you can just leave it there

looks like you enjoying your self on H2G2

manda

Hehe.
So far so good ... still plenty of time to offend someone tho

I've signed up to one or two forums in the past, but comparing to H2G2 is like comparing .... well there isn't really a comparison. I think it's

Thanks for the response. It just seemed courteous to the owners of the hardware that powers h2g2. After all it is to all intents and purposes duplicated data. If all guide entries are still stored in their original form, storage requirements are considerably higher than they need to be.

BTW do you know offhand how much disk space h2g2 has allocated to it and how much is used already? I'm gonna see if anyone knows in askh2g2
