    There's a scene in one of the later hitchhiker's guide books where Arthur realizes he might inadvertantly cause the destruction of the universe.

    "He hoped and prayed there wasn't an afterlife for people to blame him for the end of all existence. He realized this was a contradiction and chose simply to hope..."

    Simply love Douglas Adams and some of his commentary on God and religion. What you mention above almost has me wondering if this realization happened after he encounted Agrajag, the being that Arthur Dent unwittingly and unknowingly killed time and time again.

    That is amazing that you got to talk to him. One thing I like about the interwebs is how I've gotten to hear back from game developers and musicians that I liked over the years. Even a few likes from those people on things said.

    So what were people being demanding about? Not liking how their favorite book series he wrote was going, or demanding more books to be written?

    he was a cool guy and a huge macfag.

    they were complaining about that game starship titanic and why
    more books weren't being written or something. dunno, it was a long time ago. maybe you could find it on archive.org's wayback machine.
