New Category - HEALTH

[Dollie]

It seems that we use B & S for so many different topics from matters of the mind to health related issues and far beyond either of these. It is nice to be able to do that but surely it would be helpful in that case, to have a category that is simply for medical/bodily stuff rather than emotional and psychological issues which prompt long Q and A sessions. A good medical question can get swamped by other stuff so it seems a reasonable request to me.

I shall be the First to Second that suggestion.

Oooh I was thinking about posting the very same suggestion yesterday but thought it might just get the usual replies of 'ignore the other Q's - just answer the ones you're interested in'. It's a shame that recently serious health matters such as cancer have, as you say, been swamped.
Maybe we need a psychic category too?......Q's that other people are going to ask! :o)

I have said before that sub categories are the way to go in topics like B&S and Q&P but it falls on deaf ears.
You are quite right ...in Body and Soul serious questions are pushed off the page by chattier things and in Q&P people are forever arguing the toss about what constitutes a quiz ,a crossword puzzle or a riddle.There should also be a separate section for religion and ..while we are on the subject ..bring back Chatterbank ..then those who wish to chat can go there and free up the site for what it was meant to be in the first place ....Answerbank.
Ask a sensible question and hopefully get a sensible answer.
I don't mind chat ..I do it myself in Biddybank ..I like chatting but too many topics are taken over these days by chatty Q�s or people who think it funny to add a waggish remark to peoples serious questions.These types being the sort that never seem to want to help anyone else with genuine info...but think they are being clever with their flippancy.
Personally ...if I had asked a serious Q on here and then got some stupid remark in my inbox I would be very annoyed.
There needs to be some sorting out on here PDQ.

Shaney, I coudn't have said it better myself.

But apparently football is more of a priority than setting up sub categories for B&S. Check out the sport section's new sub-category.

And we are still struggling along in Q&P with quizzes and crosswords and riddles all over the shop !
