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

Just in case the first was missed, here is a copy.

An open apology to BB and all others involved in this entry!!!

This is a full and unconditional apology with only a couple of strings...

I never intended any slight, insult or condemnation on either of the original researchers by my previous posts. I just got very hacked off having spent so much time updating and improving two entries and making them one that was up to date and inclusive, including doubling the word-count. I was annoyed that an entry, that was still in fledgling guise, could be pulled...

I really have neither the time, energy or health, nor want to sink to such levels, to fight the points raised previously.

And yes, Mina, I do have an extensive knowledge of the London Public Transport System. Details on request!

My conclusion?

I am pleased to say that, from this experience, I have learnt a great deal.

I will not take on another update or FM entry.
I will not write to the Eds if I am unhappy with a situation.
I will only write my own researched entries.
I will not get involved in 'any' thread that involves personal opinions (so that is most of them) that may be misconstrued or misinterpreted.
Not to post an incomplete entry on HooToo ever again.


I apologise, and I return the original entries to their intellectual owners.
I also accept all the approbium and criticism thrown in my direction.
I relinquish all intellectual rights, actual or perceived, to the entry I have written, including all new information and research, and shall allow them to stand as they are, except all additional material included in the entry that I researched and is not included in the original entries. Any of that information must include an acknowledgement!

Can this now be a full and complete conclusion to the protracted discussion on an entry that should never have reached this unpleasant level?

Yours

An abject and disenchanted researcher.
