This Wiki contains the Frequently Asked Questions (and their answers) for the newsgroup alt.fan.douglas-adams. There are all sorts of things here that may be of interest; biographical information about Douglas Adams, answers to the frequently asked questions that are asked in the newsgroup, interesting notes and tidbits that you may (or may not) have known, and anything else readers of the group have found interesting.
The FAQ has been made possible only through the support of Douglas Adams' fans around the world, mostly but not limited to the readers of alt.fan.douglas-adams. Without their help, this Wiki would be pretty skimpy indeed. It's sadly been impossible to maintain the names and originators of all the information found in this document, thanks to its sometimes unexpected progression. So accept this global thanks to all the contributors.
Where possible, pointers to existing information (such as books, magazine articles, and other sites) are included here, rather than rehashing that information again. Information is provided without guarantee - if you get stung using any of the information provided here, or send off your personal fortune and are stuck, then I accept no blame or responsibility. It's your own damn fault.
