busy bees

[woofgang]

well chaps, I've just had a quick scan round the site and it looks like the ED and his playmates have been busy bees, clearing up after those nasty cowboys, sweeping up the ash and fag ends....shall we give them a star???

[dragonfly]

Not just yet, there are still loads of those questions still on here ... really getting tedious now.

[natalie_1982]

Think it may be too late for that, there's hardly anybody on here to answer any Q's anyhow. All the people who gave good, intelligent answers have gone away!

I'm still here, in disguise!

Anneikon, what exactly is going on? You didn't have an 'e' in your name earlier.

Hi Natalie. Because of the abusive posts directed at 'Anniekon' I changed my name using another email address and then decided to change it back to Anniekon, but forgot the 'e'. So now I have 'Anniekon' and 'Annikon' and also a secret name! All under cover stuff Natalie. Hopefully this site will settle back into a nice friendly place and the old 'Anniekon' can come back. Meanwhile, spot the new name!

and just to prove it.....

Thank you editors

[Wisebird]

I just had another abusive posting and the good old editors got rid of it straight away.

More cowboy postings... AB Ed, what about posting a very prominent note on the home page asking people to put these questions only in the quizzes section? Or even at the top of each of the categories? As folks have said, it's getting tedious and driving people away. Thanks.

natalie_1982, lots of us are still here, or don't you count paulz, QM, andyhughes, coggles, purplepixie, newforester et al (apologies to those I haven't mentioned and no offence intended)

[woofgang]

nasty cowboys back again, star suggestion withdrawn...

[natalie_1982]

I didn't mean it literally, I just think people are on here a lot less and there seem to be fewer and fewer serious Q's and answers (serious in the sense that they aren't offensive, provocative, etc)

[AB Editor]

The 'cowboys' have been busy for the last few days. The site has seen similar episodes before -- anyone remember the Christmas travel competitions from a couple of Sunday papers? -- and they tend to drop off after an initial burst. By then, hopefully, the new users will have a better undrstanding of site etiquette and become valued regulars here.

cowboys are people too and worthy of your patience and tolerance, let us not persecute them for their lack of social graces. it's not a million miles away from what hitler tried to do!
