Alphabet ZOO. My theory..

[xyzzy@bok]

Herhh, hhmm... My Theory, about AB repeat posts; that is mine and what it is herh-hmm my theory;
Has it not occurred to you wildwood, mikewall et al that 'Animals with 'N' poster is the same michievous imp each time with about 50 email addys, and its his/her pet snigger. Come on, surely this the Most likely answer.. alright how come it's almost always 'N' ; occasional changes to freshen yous up. My theory, plausible though the 'search engine exponentiation idea is', is that artex and girl in orange ad and tyre pressure dude are all mischief imps of a variety that like blagging AB, in much the same way as trolls plague newsgroups.
That is my theory, what it is and it's mine, spelled out in full like pulling teeth her hmm. :-) Or has anybody else got one?

And why do we NEVER get response or stars or anything from Animal Poster? Ha Hahh!; because it's all the same inane poster.. sussed. to prove my theory i just bet you get a response to one now, sometime soon, ah, but that would be my double bluff trap cos now that i've mentioned a response, Animal poster may respond; But, now that i've mentioned my double bluff response trap, Animal Poster may decide NOT to respond for fear of exposing himself by resPonding! Or,.. Animal Poster could Triple bluff, by actually responding.. so we won't know for sure that way, i shoulda rethought the strategy.. oops am i rabbling on? Well thats nothing compared to Animal Poster's 6month assault on you fine people. :-)

Well now Xyzzy, yer man here has done some research, in the Animals and Nature category only, and found the following; there are 22 questions asking "what animals begin with ...". Of these, 8 are for letter N, 7 are for letter X, then there's 1 each for A,E,Q,Y and Z. The other two were greedy and asked for multiples. One was for N,K and O, and the other was even bolder and asked for I,N,Q,V,X, and Y. There has been only one questioners name that has appeared more than once and that was when one person posted consecutive questions asking for animals 'X' and then 'Y'. By eck this is tres boring.

thanks for all your research mikewall i'm glad you're enjoying your 'protect the Animal Poster' campaign. shame your not so keen on supporting regular users ;-)

[xyzzy@bok]

Thats a long winded process, Mike but if you are happy then so be it. Would you be doing this in your home or your garden?

[mikewith]

As regulars like your good selves will perhaps know, I am happy to work through these questions and post answers. (Don't worry for me, dear kind friends, they're all saved on a big file and all I have to do is copy'n'paste.)

This site is regularly trawled by search engines and the results appear quite high up on popular sites like Google. If someone searches there for Artex, animals beginning with or whatever, they are directed to the Answerbank.

If you can accept that, and ignore the questions you don't want to answer then these first-time posters get the answer they're looking for and you aren't put out! Hopefully, as woodpam has described of herself, they might become regular and valued posters. And everyone's happy! (Please?)

Xyzzy, all users have my support where I consider that to be appropriate. I'm neither doing this in my home or garden, as this is the Animals and Nature category. I'm in my local zoo spotting naminals. Have seen nelephant, notter, nox, nowl, nantelope and lots more.

Aah, how cute, an ickle imp in the proverbial machine! I've got visions of a little Sprite-like gremlin sat at his computer typing away these questions to his little heart's content! Bet he's posting a Q right now as I speak, "where can I learn to wingwalk?" Bless!

[Andromeda]

Bless indeed Miss Zippy - gives me a warm glow, just thinking of the little green gremlin. Awww!
