Sympathy

[stewey]

Is it only me, but do any other ABers feel a little tinge of sympathy for people who pose a question and get absolutely no response? After, say, 24hrs of no responses perhaps there should pop-up a message: "Sorry, all our ABers are presently occupied. Please feel free to try again".

Just a thought


Please do not respond to this question.

lol stewey, i always do too! I have asked 99 questions now and i have only had 1 with no answers at all and that was a couple of weeks ago in adverts! Not a bad record eh??? Im biding my time for my 100th, its got to be outstanding cause if that gets 0 answers, i will have to retire from AB!!!!!!! LOL

Yes I agree, it makes you want to say something, even if you can't supply an answer.

Other people post and get loads of responses - although you have to be careful how you define 'question' and 'answer'

[Pea Pod]

You are maybe better off with no answers than the war being waged in AB suggestions at the moment.

[natalie_1982]

Sometimes I have something I want to say but it doesn't directly answer the Q, so I don't respond because I don't want to poster to get excited when they see they have an answer and it is only me saying something they probably don't care about and might shout at me!!!!!

Like this really.

Did everyone else not read your last sentence stewey!! He he!!!

[unruliejulie]

I did Athley but i thought, nah, this is a question AND answer site so i just ignored that bit lol! and anyway, it was a good question!

[stewey]

Yea.........what's going on over at "AB Suggestion"? Is it a civil war?.........Not very civil is it?.


Oops, I responded to this thread........sorry, stewey!

[unruliejulie]

stewey, if you cant play by your own rules, you cant expect anyone else to now can you?????? ;-)

[ummmm]

stewey .......... am I allowed back now :-(

[curlyperm]

must admit i do feel sorry when its happenned, and agree with natalie you feel like typing something just to make them feel better, it has happenned to me on a couple of occasions, and you kinda take it personally, and think nobody likes you, but you get over it, i have 3 people on here regular who have NEVER EVER answered or joined in ANY of my posts, but thats life i guess : )
ps sorry for anwering, but i did think it was an interesting question x

[stewey]

Ummmm, has 2 weeks gone by already?.................wow!....Ok, you can return, but I'm placing you on vacation......probation, I meant.

[devil monkey]

it's even worse when they say thanks at the end. and then nobody answers. because they're thanking you for nothing.

[ummmm]

I know I have answered you Curly....so phew...

Vacation sounds better Stewey.....where?

[ummmm]

pmsl....devilmonkey...

[ummmm]

Stewey...have you got a spare email address....I would like to send you a link.....

[natalie_1982]

lmao @ devil monkey. Never thought of that. Kind of makes me feel a bit sad.

[stewey]

Ummmm, you'd like a vacation? Off you go to "Adverts" for one month. No, I don't really want to post my address here: can you not post the link here?

[ummmm]

No I can't...but email [email protected]

That's my spare address....

[stewey]

What's a "spare" address?

[whiffey]

It's an address that is spare. See the "intelligence" section :)
