To see if I am missing anything and..........................it appears not so bye bye.

[askyourgran]

Same old, same old moonraker, go back to sleep.

[Dris]

What was the purpose of that thread?
Proves my point though very sucinctly -wooo !!

[anniesummers]

Is it worth me saying anything... or will I get ignored?

[NoMercy]

No one's mentioned you so you're flouncing?

[anniesummers]

When I get a chance, yes I will be

[ttfn]

Moony - come again when you can't stay so long ;o) x
Hi Dris. With every respect - isn't that what ChatterBank is for? We both know that the site attracts a wide and varied class of ABer. Everyone has the right to post - so long as they behave themselves. (I'll get my coat then). I appreciate the effort you, and others, put into composing some ops and provide links. One would hope that the 'serious' ABers would check the various topics in which they are most interested and hopefully well versed to be able to give due consideration to noterorthy questions. But surely there has to be room for the more general bantet type of light hearted post? Please say yes or I really will have to get my coat ♥

you cant go outside ttfn, remember what the doctor said.

[sherrardk]

Maybe the ed could consider a seperate 'latest posts' box just for CB and then the 'serious' posters wouldn't get overlooked by the constant chatter? (Would be quite interesting to know what percentage of the site is used by real questions and what percentage by chatter.)

[askyourgran]

I agree ttfn. I'll get my coat too.

[NoMercy]

On the one hand, people, like myself, come to CB to "escape" - and by that I mean get away from our problems. On the other hand, sometimes people need a rant and it just seems like others would rather talk about about crap than lend an ear to those who desperately need to talk. It's difficult to strike the right balance.

I shall take care anne! Gran - are you stalking me again ? Precisely NoM. Answerbank is no different to the real world - it takes all sorts. So perhaps we should also have a Basset's section, No Man's Land - any others we can think of?

[askyourgran]

I have posted some serious or semi-serious questions, and there has usually been some response, maybe a day later. It depends on how people view your questions, whether they have something to say about it. You've been on here long enough Dris to take the good and the bad days. (like you can be invisible some days.)

[ttfn]

After all, one can always post on one's own thread to bring fresh interest to it (preferably not during a 'sounds like famous' thread admittedly Dris!)

[anneasquith]

i know i know its been asked loads of times. but do some abers look to see who has asked the question or answered, then reply ?

[ttfn]

Goodness knows anne - I don't! Sometimes I am attracted by the poster or by the op or by the category - but rarely 2 or 3 at the same time. It might also depend on my mood or how I am feeling. Suspect it might be similar criteria for some others too. Anyway i am retiring early tonight ('yay' they all cried) so I wish you all sweet dreams and ttfn ♥

[ummmm]

There is no clique. Just people who don't join in...........

[squarebear]

You'll go the same way as another-view soon. He/she dared to question the nonsense on this site which pushes geniune questions of the latest posts table and was promptly removed from the site.
