Morning Ed - As dear Dot is a popular member of AB, I have posted birthday greetings to her/him (?) on four different threads & in different categories.

Also posted the same for someone elses birthday on a different thread.

Maybe it's time for a dedicated 'Birthday Greetings' category?

Kerplunk - If you'd like to take a look at Redbel's comments at the end of the following thread, you will see that I'm not alone in my Suggestion to the AB Ed:

http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/AB-Suggestions/ Question314565-2.html

Requesting ONE place for 'Greetings' seemed better than having them scattered all over AB.

So okay, so we shouldn't have a 'Greetings' category & under no circumstances, absolutely no more 'small talk' in any other category - how do you propose for the AB Ed to monitor that?

Hi Neti - you're right there!
AAarrrrggggghhhh!!!! sounds of chatty ABers being throttled for chatting
Do you honestly think that introducing a Greetings category would eliminate the small talk and chat in all the other categories and sub sections?

I don't think it would. We would end up in the same situation as we were in when Chatterbank was introduced.

This is my last remark on this subject...

This is not a chat site!!

These are my last comments on the subject:

Firstly Kerplunk - we all know this is not a chat site!

This was a suggestion to the AB Ed & Co - you know, the ones who make the final decisions!

As yet, I & others haven't received any replies from them & until we do, nothing further can be done about it.

Whether the Ed will grant a 'Greetings' category - or not, you will never stop a certain amount of 'small talk' on some of the categories - just wait & see!
Hi smudge, I think a greetings category would benefit everyone as you say keep all the happy birthday or we�ve just had a baby announcements in one place (and Christmas greetings) Kerplunk this is not a chat site but there will always be a small amount of chat that�s how humans communicate! Dare I even say the ED has engaged a small amount of banter in the past; it gives the feel of a welcoming and friendly site. Have a nice day Kerplunk.

Wasn't going to add any more, but don't wish to appear ignorant, therefore:

Hi 45703 - thank you for your positive reply.

I think it makes sense too & yes the AB Ed has at times joined it certain threads - even wishing me & others a personal 'Happy Birthday'!!!!

Back to the chores....

AB Ed didn't wish me a Happy Birthday this year :-(

Ah, Neti - you've got lots of friends on AB who love ya & as long as you've got us & we've got you, that's all that matters! ^8^

(Believe me, I was very surprised on receiving birthday wishes from the Ed!).
