Hello Lilian'sgirl...
Well, here we are, thanks to the good work of Peta and friends!!
I suppose that I'll get used to this board eventually... what with this one, POV and the GG's boards I am going to be so busy that real life will pass me by and I will live in cyberspace.
Good to see you here anyway.
Love GoldenGirl

Hello GoldenGirl.
I am bewitched, bothered and bewildered, but pleased to be on here at last. We have caused a bit of bother to those lovely people who helped us.
I think we've proved we do want to be able to understand what we are doing, but it isn't easy is it?
I put the Don't Panic to favourites, but it has gone to my favourites , not on here. Doh
Well, I will follow the help lines I received from someone who welcomed me, and I am ashamed to say I didn't look for her/his name before I came on here to answer you.
Love, Lilian'sgirl.

Peta!!!
Have a great new job, 8 years in one role is an awfully long time in the weird world of internetland.
How I remember discussing books in the library you set up. I bet it's frightfully dusty in there now
As has been said, don't be a stranger and you never know some old timers might get together at a meet one day and reminisce about those TDV times and how it was all green fields back then. To be looked on by the youngsters askance at how technologically backward and slow it all seems by modern standards.
Enjoy your time off, I guess you'll not be going on some mad walk with Mark then...

Hello Lil,
Thank you for the welcome, I am GoldenGirl and have just arrived (through the ether it seems) from POV.
I will find my way around in due course I am sure (well, almost sure)!!

Peta, I think it's about time to tell you how very very much I will miss you - after the hassle of the last few days, I bet you can not say the same about me!!
Thank you for all you have done for us on POV and good luck in your new job and in all you do, you have been

Hey Peta, I can remember meeting you at my one and only official meet in London. It was a pleasure then and it's sad now that you'll be leaving us, you won't be forgotten as long as this site lasts I'm sure.
Good luck in the new job. I can remember discussing with you that I was here so much at the time as I was fed up with my job (your reason for joining the hootoo staff as I recall ), well it's perked up very much since then and it's good to see your career going on the up too. I wish you well.
And for all the good work you've done for the community in your time.

Peta Posted Jul 8, 2008
Thank you all *so* much.
It's lovely to see the Aceing continues, on this thread as well as across h2g2 - without you guys the site wouldn't exist, so to you all as well! It's been absolutely fabulous working with you all, I really mean that.

Peta Posted Jul 8, 2008
Thanks Phil,
God you remember the library! That *was* a very long time ago - I wasn't even h2g2 staff then, just a poster to the board like everyone else.
I'm not working in August, so I might join Mark for a few bits of his latest mad walk Tubewalker http://www.tubewalker.com/ he does like to get out and about!
I'll definitely keep an eye on the meet-ups, and I will come back and say hi - I'm clearly as addicted as everyone else.

Dear Lilian's girl,
I am so sorry, I somehow missed your post yesterday. thank you for replying so quickly to Peta's appeal. I have still not worked out which part of the other website I want/have to subscribe to. As your and golden Girl are both on points of view perhaps that would be a good one to join.
However I am nervous as I always seem to be swim upstream whenever I have a point of view.!! U am destined to be controversial I fear. !
Anyway, hopefully you will allow for my idiosyncrasies.
Have a good day.
with affction
