[Postdog]

Anyone else fed up with people posting these questions, and worse still, not searching for other posted questions asking the same thing?

[noxlumos]

No, I think they are warm and wonderful individuals and I aspire to be as polite and intelligent as they are one day, once I've had this surgical proceedure to remove my tongue from my cheek. God belss em all I say.NOT.

Mustn't criticise ..all be good little people and point them in the right direction.. Turn the other cheek when you are called a moron.I also have a a plum in my mouth !
This thread will self destruct on Monday .

To be fair to them, and believe me I thought the number of them was well over the top, it is largely the fault of those who run AB that the search facility is not used widely enough. Newcomers to the site are not asked to do a search to see if their questions have been asked before and the ten or so questions that come up before one is asked 'do you still wish to submit your question' are often irrelevant. AB itself needs to do something about this but whether it has the will to do so is another matter.

[Postdog]

Yeah, I agree AB has a lot to answer for. Personally, I'd like to see an edit facility for posts, but it makes you wonder, if these people know enough to come here to find an answer, surely they know enough to realise others are asking the same questions. Whenever I post, I get the options come up first, but even without them, especially with Marlboro, they are all over the place and all you have to do is go back some posts and chances are it's there. I think it's just laziness myself.

But ..no matter how you try to help them they infight anyway

I have been castigated for my views on this but I stand by what I have said in the past.These people just want to win a million dollars.They will get what they want and disappear never to be seen again and give no input to AB whatsoever.
We are called allsorts by trying to help them and pointing them in the direction of forums etc. to no avail.You may as well flog a dead horse at the cow county clash on the lofty road to nowhere.

It's an American contest promoted by Marlboro ciggies.It's called ..Outwit the West
They have to answer all these questions ..in teams of four ..I think.... The ones who get it all correct get a million dollars.

goldenfield + Postdog I agree ..... AB needs to put its own Site in order .... �edit facilty for posts� .... it's a start

Much better would be an 'Editor-OUT button' ... after all, isn't it America bringing democracy to the rest of the world (sic, can they count Bushes in Florida yet - where was Jimmy and his observers?) ....

Perhaps it is time to exercise our democratic right through the ballot box and have an annual vote online for the role of Ed? Clearly the current laid-back incumbent, or do I mean encumbent, lounging in California doesn't tolerate limeys .................

So, rise up British Abers and vote for an independent foreign policy ........ out with the poodle!! ...

Man the barricades ........... where is St George when you want him?

adieu, cher(e) ami(e)s ......... aaaggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
