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

Well, you get the award for the 1st to freak me out in 2003.
I like that in a person! ~~~~~~~~~~~

Clearly people aren't doing very well, it's March already!

Clearly I don't freak easily. Least not compared to other things I do easily .

Then how did I manage to freak you out?

Well, er, when I clicked onto your Home Page to, er, to check you out your Page greewted me!
Pa-leeze tell me the days of 'stealth lurking' are days gone by. I may never look at another Home Page again.
Ohmyhell, if I hadn't posted anything to you...would you have even known I was there??

That's what happens when I try to post & talk to someone at the same time!
I meant to say: tell me the dazzzze of stealth lurking aren't over.

Pardon my typos.

Huh? Are you referring to my use of the increasingly-common VIEWER tag?

Increasingly common?!
Well, no wonder I didn't know anything about it.
I'm not the 'common' type.
Now that we've established the subject of my question. How 'bout an answer? Would you have known I was there had I not posted?
IF you have to kill me after telling me the truth you may jussss skip the answer.

Nope, wouldn't have had a clue. All that tag does is takes your nickname and inserts it into my page - only you know you've been here. it's not really scary at all

I knew that! I was jusss checking to see if you would answer correctly.
Say, maW, how might, say, a lowley Hiker, such as myself procure a tag such as that? I'll wait right here.

It's simple enough, just add the GuideML self-closing tag to your Space somewhere. I see you're already using GuideML, so that shouldn't prove too difficult

And of course I answered right, I am a Guru after all

Oh, I know!I'm so impress-a-lated I can barely contain myself!
I know nothing about ML guides or Boyscout giudes, or guide dogs ,or...well, you get the drift. Nearly made poor 'Tonto' insane trying to help my with my Page. I know you can't tell by looking at me....*whispers...*i'm 'puterly challenged.
I still need to RTFM. My puter's an imac you know & even if you didn't.
May I ask you one tinsy lil' question before I promise to go away and leave you alone?
Why are there big eye balls looking at my tag? They seem to follow me, wherever I go.

The eyes indicate someone being online.

Well, I, that, but, er, Thank you.

Hope to be e-ing you around. Perhaps you'll stop back in to The Crossed Purposes for a green ale or sumthin'.

Yes, I probably will

Okay then....*twirls a bit of her hair onto a knot...*See ya' 'round.
And thanks again.
