Who created the answerbank.co.uk????????

[AB Editor]

Thanks Einstein, for those kind words ;-) This site comes from a small media company called Front Of Mind, which is indeed a part of the Daily Mail and General Trust.

If I may - I'd like to claim a small amount of credit as well. I was one of a group of seven writers who began constructing the actual text on The Answerbank - my section was Music, and although the site has evolved, and no longer employs individual writers to compile weekly feature material, I still enjoy reading and contributing - and if anyone else wants to employ me in a similar capacity - let me know! I'm not sure if I can say that, but if you have to edit my reply AB Ed, please do so - no hard feelings.

I'd always assumed this was run by some bunch of altruistic nerds... finding out it's associated with The Daily Mail makes me feel dirty. I'll probably get over it, but I'll never feel the same.

Thanks AB Ed. for your kind words. To Badlyhungboy - don't worry about being soiled by association - I'm not! Then again, why would I be? The Daily Mail is a newspaper with its own stance on political and social issues and comment - if you don't agree, don't read it!

Touch�, c'est moi. Actually, I don't know why I said that and I take it back andy - won't make me buy the paper though:-)

Thanks BHB - you are a gentleman and a scholar.

Ahh, man . . . created by the Daily Mail :( I'm sorry but I hate the Mail for trying to be a broadsheet without actually letting go of its trashy tabloid roots. Other than doing slightly less appropriate-to-mention things with the Daily Mail I think it's only good for lining the rabbit hutch.
