For Banker-Frank

[choux]

Good morning frank.

I genuinely am a little curious about your motivation at posting 3 times most days (Mon-Fri). I often wonder from whence you get your ideas. The speed with which you post indicates to me that you have prepared your questions in advance. Have you been invited to post in such a manner?

May I point out to you that your posts are always in Chatterbank whilst there is a varied menu of categories if you click on the "view all categories".

No malice intended in this post to you :)

[banker_frank]

Good Morning Choux and thank you for a post directed at me. Yes my questions are pre prepared as I think very carefully before posting them. I try to start conversations for people to join in, chatterbank seems to be the in place for the in crowd. Its hard work as some contributors (not your good self) seem more focused on the poster and their intentions that the actual subject of the post.

[choux]

Thanks for your reply, frank. Would you say that your posts here are a true reflection of subjects that do matter to you personally or are you trying to be thought-provoking for the benefit of ABers?

Oh well, Jimmy Wheeler's catchphrase is rattling around my head ;)

[banker_frank]

Sorry not to get back sooner . The questions are not a reflection of my personal interests more a mixture of philosophical questions and topical ones, although my current thread on dangerous sports and hobbies was prompted by recent personal experience.

And now, a little ditty.

You can bring Hughes who's the mod with views,
But don't bring Frankie.
You can bring Sqad. He's a medical bod.
But don't bring Frankie.

It's Frankie that we have to thank.
Gaining clicks for Answerbank.
When our Frankie comes to town,
Watch those click counts spinning roun'.

You can bring Nail', he will never quail.
But don't bring Frankie.
Queries in chat when the place goes flat,
Like an Answerbankish elf

He's the kind of smartie,
Breaks up any party.
Don't get cranky.
Don't bring Frankie.
He'll come by himself.

Choux and Frankie were two glorious frogs,
who were sitting on the ends of a Chatterbank log.
They met in the middle,
and started to fiddle,
now their tadpoles all swim in the Answerbank bog.

[choux]

Well done Chinajan - enjoyed your effort very much :)

DTC, I certainly wouldn't fiddle with banker_frank , it would be wrong to interfere with Ed's programme ;)

[nailit]

Don't think Banker is spelt quiet right!

[choux]

:D

[choux]

Chinajan - you are now in the roaring 20's for Best Answers!

I am convinced Frank is Nameless 14 ....lots of pointless questions and no real interest in the answers.....sigh.

[gness]

Now I don’t find Frank’s questions pointless.....some I may not be interested in but others will....and those I am I answer.....well it is a Q&A site..... :-)....and I don’t see a lack of interest in the answers he receives....he responds to those who post......
Frank’s probably asked more questions this past week than many who are twittering on about who he is.... :-)

[Captain2]

Hear, hear Gness

[banker_frank]

Mallyj You may have no interest in my questions and that's your prerogative . However, perhaps you may glance over the 239 replies I have made before accusing me of having no interest in the replies.

To the OP I find a thread directed at a particular member of a forum contentious. I intitally replied to you in good humour but your best answer is childish at best, inviting a slanging match at worst.

This is not what AB is about.

[Calicogirl]

I have no problem with Frank's questions- it's better than no-one posting any questions. We used to have some quite good and sometimes quite heated debates and threads going on on Chatterbank, and it's grown very pale and dull of late, so any general interest question has to be welcomed surely? And of course he's not Nameless- Nameless never had any interest in the answers Frank does at least join in properly.

Nailit at 20.08, comedy gold as usual.

I enjoy Banker_Franks thought provoking questions

[choux]

Cool your jets, frank. If you look at the Ed's note under the ChatterBank heading you will see "Welcome to ChatterBank the home of natter and nonsense on The AnswerBank. You could ask serious questions here, but don't expect serious answers!" I thought Chinajan's post fitted that requirement ideally. You probably were not a fan of Dorothy Provine.

In my OP I did point out to you, politely, that there are many categories in which we can post (where answers are required to relate to a more defined response as befits the OP).

[Jordyboy9]

I agree with choux banker seems to well versed in the ways of answerbank to be a newbie,my theory is,
He is a ringer I can’t find another word,
He has been sent in by the powers that be as things were going a bit stale.
