just being nosey (nosy?)

[mycatis]

Hi ED, just wondering (ignoring the flood of imposters just now) how many registered users does AB actually have?
Like I say, just pure nosiness!

ED did you just make that up??? Go on admit it, you did didn't you, you just picked a random number!
1,720 since 1 September !!!!

[MargeB]

[pixi]

yeah but ed never said which September 1st (19 nought blob)  sorry ed, only joking

[johntheplamf]

Who was the first user ED, apart from yourself that is.

[Cetti]

1,720 new posters????

What happens when we all wish each other 'Happy Christmas' - do I get banned again as I did last year?

I hope you are a new-improved-ED model and not the same old meany we had before.

[AB Editor]

Hi All,

No, that wasn't a made-up figure. Gives you an idea of the audience you are playing to, doesn't it? As far as what happens in Christmas, we promise not to be bahumbug Scrooge-types.

Couldn't tell you who the first registered user was. But we've had more than 85,000 since 2001.

"Happy Monday Folks"

Blimey! Maybe we should think twice about some of our ramblings lol.
Cheers ED, I knew you hadn't really made it up, honest :)
"Happy Monday to you too ED"
(ain't he nice folks? lol)

What's the betting that 80,000 are people with multiple usernames?

[AB Editor]

Hi landie,

Well, that's the beauty of the internet. It's the only place where its perfectly acceptable to be schizophrenic!

AB ED

[landie]

Thanks Ed I'll go and explain that to myself.

ABEd. Schizophrenia has nothing to do with multiple personalities. That's borderline personality disorder.

I love the way a disability can get attacked, because it's a mental illness. I wonder how long I'd last if I went around saying 'Better than being a spastic.' or 'At least I'm not a veg in a wheelchair'.

'Oh but that's different'. Is it?

[loudickson71]

multiple personality disorder even.
