stop sending me emails saying i haven't been on ab recently!

[chrisrob]

I visit AB nearly every day trying to provide helpful answers to others and asking some of my own. And every day for a couple of months I've posted a pun.
SO WHY DO YOU KEEP TELLING ME I HAVEN'T BEEN ON???

[rinkins]

Hi chrisrob, see "signing in for duty" in chatterbank ;-)

[beejay1124]

just got one too there chris--i posted about 30 mins ago . as well

[jake-the-peg]

Me too

I wonder if good old AB has been letting QA staff go in the financial crisis.

Please don't tell me they let developers do their own QA!

Doh!

and me.. someone has lost the plot!

I got one too this morning, despite visiting Answerbank almost daily.

What's thoroughly annoying is that clicking on the ''Reply'' email address brings up a Bebo webage inviting me to join. Click on ''No Thanks'', and I get yet another Bebo webpage... I presume that these emails are just Bebo's solution to the problem (for them) of Pop-Up Blockers.

But don't the originators of these emails realise that such underhand persistence, far from being encouraging, simply gets our backs up?

GRRR!!

And, might not such tactics raise the risk of Answerbank losing some of the goodwill of its contributors?

Ooooh I just got one and im on every day and was on afew hours ago, how silly.

[smudge]

I've just got in & opened one up:

Hi .......

We have noticed that you have not been online for some time now...

Why not come back to The AnswerBank and get answers to your questions, and share some of your knowledge by giving others answers?

Thanks Ed, glad you noticed! ;o}

[dot.hawkes]

I've still not had one and i was feeling left out a few hours ago, now i am positively despondent, it's one thing being missed when you are actually here, but it's quite another thing not being missed when you are actually here.

[smudge]

lol Dot!

I wouldn't mind, but I received my email AFTER I'd posted on here for the first time in ages today! Not before....

[paraffin]

I got such an e-mail this morning - I've been online every day since I first joined AB a couple of months ago.

[yogasun]

Also got one.
Thought initially it was because I rarely ASK questions, just occasionally try to help/comment.

[factor-fiction]

At last...i've just received one of these emails. Okay I haven't posted any questions for a few weeks but I have posted well over 100 answers in the last 4 weeks. Clearly I'm not doing enough.
