Why do I need a life?

Agnostic Primist is posting for Susan Calvin.
We have decided to add a new robot to our clan. His name will be Evolutionary Theist and we think he will add some interesting ideas to the god thread in exile.
I've invited Azahar, Noggin, Matholwch, and Bodhisattva to the new thread. I can't find Goyahkla.)
I will invite Frumious Bandersnatch/ Hoovooloo by email. Don't mention it on any of his user pages because he is too well known.

Good work, SC/AP. Is Susan Calving your name in real life, then?
Somehow we have to actually kick off the discussion.

No, Susan Calvin is the name of a character in Isaac Asimov's book _I, Robot_. Actually, like all of our robot identities, we are male in the real world.
We have a plan. A new member of our hive-researcher will say something.

Good plan.
You do love Asimov, don't you? Needless to say, he is one of the best writers that scifi and fantasy have ever had. Possibly even the second best.
I thought I recognised the name. Isn't she the middling-to-old lady who sorts out problems with robots, like Pete and thingybob? She thinks the young chap fancies her because a robot lied to her because it thought it was making her happier?

The best author, ever, is Neil Gaiman. No choice about it. If you haven't read any of his stuff, then; shame on you! He has a blog at www.neilgaiman.com/journal/journal.asp , and if you poke around on Google you should find a few cheap internet rips of some of his short storys. And if that weren't enough, he has the same hairstyle as me. Nuff said.

Jane and Fnord--
Agnostic Primist, along with Susan Calvin's other avatars, has taken a leave of absence from H2G2 and I have been authorized to conduct H2G2-related buisness in their place. As a result, it is my duty to replace Agnostic Primist as a co-founder of the "God Thread in Exile"
Several persons on the God thread (see the "" thread on my user page) have asked that the ban on toxxin be repealed. I am petitioning on their behalf that you reconsider this ban and make a statement on the thread as to whether or not you wish to continue this ban. I will accept either judgement.
