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

Yeah, like in the eponymous book by George Orwell, where a middle-aged bloke goes back to his old childhood haunts to find they have changed beyond recognition. Except this place hasn't changed very much at all. I skim Peer Review to find that Whimsy is still very much an object of first importance, and there is little attempt made to reach out to a wider, more eclectic readership.

Hi FM,

I'm seldom around these parts either, these days.

"By which I infer that frank opinions are now accepted more readily, providing they are given for the right reasons"

Providing they stay the right side of insult

Not much point in going round insulting people, is there? But some people can't tell the difference between that and robust criticism.
