Dear mr R. Creasey
I try to follow the journey of Captain J. Ridgway to save the albatross. It came to my attention that some of the attendees are so called 'newbees'.
Being here on h2g2 myself for just hundred (96) days, I figured out a way to be of some assistance for those newbees. Using something like

... John Ridgway Save the Albatross Voyage 2003-4



This is an

acing


and a link to the

contents



could encourage some of the 'one night stands' to keep participating on h2g2.
Another idea is to use a direct named link and change the date in the title I tried in 'Helms cabinet' < A1108379 > using < A1109279 > and < A1109288 >. Anyone will see the page is really recent.
I know, half of my conversations seem to be nonsense, however that is (perhaps) just the average over any thread. By the way, why do you have so many (used as example/ test) nearly empty entries?

Sailor in Time comes in pointing at 'The English Rose V1 a Sailing vessel' < A1103509 >
"Perhaps you can help me out with this, as even my babelfish goes for a swim in the dark."

searching in his Esperanto dictionary
"Perhaps the british ambasseys in Brasil and Japan and.. can (and will) be willing to help in publishing some of the Albatross journey. Or ask the foreign desk of the BBC for local reporters interested in such items."

Nephew Who using his calculator
"They will pass the equator round their 42th day, time for a little party?"

"No albatrosses jet, would it be moderated if I double language ElbeitRose V1.# in Esperanto?"

Susan Winkle aka lurking on her pipe
"GooRoos or Alternative Coffee Enhancements can make you nuts overhere."

Nephew Who tapping on his console in search of alabtross bycatch documents
"OOOps happens me all the time: first refresh page, from cached, then update, lost 7-9 in cached from 6-9!! Something similar 28-7?"


Traveller in Time looking at the second hand (on his wrist watch)
"Should not type this online, were doing 1k connection.. "

trying to light his pipe
"Traveller, also take a look at the day hands everywhere, I merely gues it is the same phenomenon as 4-8-2004 these voyagers are not only travelling the oceans also in time."
he puts away his pipe and decides to write the post off line
"Richard, what are the treaty governments doing to catch illegal fishery, compared to smugglers ( wich in fact they are, exporting international property )? Most governments are willing to assign their marine to catch contraband drug smugglers..."

Nephew Who tapping on his console
"< A1169723 > Very nice page, however I feel like lured away by
'<./>Go on! Post a message to the crew, via Carol at the Kiwi Conservation Club, now!</.>'
This is a very good site about New Zealand
CONSERVATIONS I can find no place to post any
CONVERSATIONS with the English Rose V1 Crew"

Traveller in Time on his head
"Nice site, however by investing in a bigger pipe we will have to reduce all other expenses. As soon as the kids have the required age they will become WNF youth members."

nipping his pipe
"Good Idea, if a day was not successful, we do it ridg(a)way over
< A1127062 > 8-9-2003 day 44, 8-9-2003 day 45 ??? perhaps that is the reason for communication design to wait wich day will take place and when."

Nephew Who wondering to use the function
"Yes they are really magnificent < A1171423 >, by the way magnificated, I do not encouter the credits as you ordered in the reproducing provisions?? "

Traveller in Time seeking shelter in his wild hair
"I just saw the departure clip, finally enough bandwidth to get something. I am afraid most people do not get this page loaded in a reasonable time. "

Nephew Who just finished reconnecting his console
"Can not help noticing some of the bird images have strange properties. The 'Spectacled Peterel' is hold in someones hand. Is this thumb yours? oOr is it the left hand thumb of Mr/M Fabios Olmos? Birdlife states this picture to be taken by Peter Ryan.
< http://www.birdlife.net/action/campaigns/save_the_albatross/species_photos.html >
And the 'Hawaiian Black-footed' have a strange border in full blown (bigger than {bird}life) size."

Traveller in Time on his head
"Good to see more and more bird sites have somewhere a link to this site. It is good reading birdlife pages, they are not too negative. And they really give good suggestions to help."

Nephew Who looking over his shoulder
"I hope the big erasers will not get us. Some albatross pages have fallen into oblivion already. < C1066 > However, < U229317 > still shows the content, saying he will join.."

Elbot Propellownose holding a mirror to see his shiny nose
"Who is David Walters, perhaps he can fix the engine in time.
Glen Wakefield sounds familar, who is it?
Glenn Wakefield, ah! I know, that is the helms man for calm weather.
"

Traveller in Time on his head
"Well, now we have a big pipe to get images and content at speed. Concider just a few quiks ago we had to do with 56Kb, it already took nearly a minute to load the daily log. By the time the English Rose V1 arrives in Cape-Town lots of users can not load the page anymore."

Traveller in Time on his head breading on a preSSo
"Sign the petition!"

Acronymous Borg scanning for new dromes
"Resistance is futile you will be albatrossimilated, at least drop notes where to sign on."

Traveller in Time on his head
"You are working lots late this year.
After being away for almost the whole year you seem to rush in getting things written.

Anyway Happy Newyear for tomorrow.

Save The Albatross
Save The Environment

Do not forget to celebrate this year tonight < A2164385 >

As both brought to the attention down in this Guide by your works."

Traveller in Time on his head
"It is becomming silent around the 'Save The Albatross' campaign, time for a frontpage link? "

Traveller in Time on his toes
"An article in the post perhaps? < A2498754 >"

Traveller in Time on his head
"Well, they are not much, but I have been working on some flyers. The idea is they can be used to publish the Albatross campaign in schools and other public areas.
Is it allowed to do so?

The fact is I wrote the entries. To make them any kind of attractive I use Blobs (watermarked with the name of the photographer). Is it allowed to use them for publishing on school, library and shopping mall public notice boards (concidered we have permission of the owner of the notice board).

Jimster redirected me to ask you for permission using the photographs."

Traveller in Time finally found a way to listen live to radio 4
"< <./>rtsp://rmlivev8.bbc.net.uk/farm/*/ev7/live24/radio4/live/r4_dsat_g2.ra</.> >

However I can not find the 'live broadcast' by John Ridgway (17th June 2004 at 11 O'clock) scheduled on the radio 4 site! "

Traveller in Time on his head
"How about the film of the journey? "
