Ghost Questions

I have just received an email telling me "You have an answer!" from a question I posted in October 2004!!

When I clicked on the link it said 'page could not be found'.

I did find the question however, by going back in time through my profile, only to find it hasnt been edited at all. In fact it was a 'banned' question.

So what's that all about then AB Ed?

Well at least you're getting emails when your questions are answered... And yes, my contact details are up to date.

I still think you have the best name I've seen on here.

Thanks CD! As I said though, no one has answered the question since 2004, so why it says 'you have an answer' god only knows. Especially as it was a banned question which no one else can see anyway??????

weird, just out of curiosity I checked my email for this account, its a really old one that I havent used for ages. There was a 'you have an answer' email which has todays date on. The question is there but in old chatterbank and is locked. The last answer on it was 09/11/05 :s

I haven't had any replies from days gone by, but this question prompted me to check my old address and I discovered 3 e-mails from very old friends, so thank you for the prompt! LOL

Hi Lakitu - thanks for asking after me. I'm not too bad thank you. Been away for what seems like years, been so much going on this end.

Hi lajohn - glad you enjoyed that little thread. Winter will soon be upon us (feel that it already has this last few weeks with all the rain)! Now busy preparing for a two week holiday in Dorset from this Saturday. Hope the sun shines for us & all the other holiday makers.
