But now that you mention it, Ford did use it's sub-etha to send the "mostly harmless" update about Earth....if he could SEND updates, why couldn't he send a request to be picked up from Earth??
OMG! Plot hole!

See, I knew I'd regret this thread.

Perhaps his update also included text to the effect of "I am stuck on thus miserable little planet. Would someone please, please, please come by and pick me up?" It's only a plot hole if that would actually have resulted in someone picking him up! Adams' galaxy doesn't seem all that friendly and caring, after all.
