What was the first ever question on AB?

[B00]

"Judy Finnegan comment"

;-)

[jno]

something about the Mona Lisa, I think. It was still on site till a couple of years ago.

[B00]

Ok, serious answer...think it was something about the Mona Lisa way back in 2001.

[Tilly2]

Yes, Boo. It does feel like that!

[jno]

I think this was it, actually

[Tilly2]

Is the person who asked it, and those who answered, still on AB?

[sandyRoe]

I think this is it.

[Tilly2]

Thanks all. It looks as though andy is the longest serving member. Funny answers to the Mona Lisa question........?

[Tilly2]

Sandy, is yours specifically Chatterbank?

[janbee]

Maybe it was a spam comment and probably the same posters doing it today.

[anneasquith]

has to be ''' ED why am I suspended ''' :)

[Tilly2]

Maybe, jan. There are a lot of removed answers there.

[jno]

looks like a lot of those who answered were removed. AB in its early days didn't go in for chat; anything livelier than "good morning" was likely to be deleted.

[Tilly2]

Changes for the better then, jno.

[jno]

it was much politer when people wore top hats and/or farthingales while debating the Corn Laws.

[sandyRoe]

Tilly, specifically chatterbank? I can't remember, but it looks as though it was.

[RATTER15]

It looks like my first questions have been deleted, I have answers going back to 2004 but questions only go back to 2006!

[jno]

from 2002
