This isn't ultra-urgent so I figured I'd drop it here rather than resorting to email.
Firstly, I'd like to say thank you for a number of the changes you made on the Hall, ACT, Australia entry of mine. You tightened a few things up nicely, made some changes I'd been pondering but was unsure about, and generally helped the flow.
One change that has me curious and, I'll admit, dissapointed. Since this is the HitchHikers Guide, I thought that it was logical that I should refer to 'Places for Hikers' to visit and so on. To have that changed to 'tourist' strikes me as...well...boring and mundane.
I suppose right now I'm mainly curious as to the reason for the change.
Thanks.

I actually left the bulk of the HitchHikers references in. I guess they were removed by Anna or Mark. I imagine this was a way of making the article more 'generic' as H2G2 is more of a general guide to life, the universe and everything than just a HitchHiker's guide. Probably.
Anyway, glad you like the other amendments; it's always very difficult to know whether the authors will be happy with changes!

Well in this case I like them. I like to pride myself on being able to write well, but one skill I don't have is that of tightening stuff up and helping it to flow more freely. You did that nicely and now I've seen how it's done I can try better next time. I'm just using you, you see
