The idiot Mysterons is active again with old questions

[Jumbuck]

What a ****..

[craft1948]

well if it keeps him happy.......

[Jumbuck]

but it's tedious for the rest of us, don't you think?

[craft1948]

it's faintly annoying but not life threatening as such....

[AB Editor]

Hi Jumbuck, although it may annoy you I would like to point you the Site Rules.

Lets start with the first one:

Treat others as you would like to be treated and respect other people’s opinions. Discussions can get passionate but users should moderate their language and refrain from personal attacks and profanity. We encourage lively debate but name calling, harassment or abuse will not be tolerated.

The rest can be found here:

Happy reading.

But why is he answering prize crossword questions from 2 years ago? The original poster will have either given up or found the answer by now.

[craft1948]

you don't know that............they may be very patient....

[another-view]

Either way, they will have missed the closing date.

[craft1948]

well the answer is always .......Karen Harrison....

[AB Editor]

This is a fair point Another-view, but as craft says. The poster could be patient.

All the best,

Spare Ed

Awww, i have a mental image of some long forgotten ABer crying with relief over their computer now going "Oh thank God for that...." as he or she can now fill in the last crossword answer that has been bugging them for two years.

Makes ya go all fuzzy inside :-)

He has another 154 to go to clear the 'unanswered' backlog on Crosswords
and then can turn his attention to the 9000 odd ones on Quizzes & Puzzles.

[B00]

I quite like the idea that someone is going round AB tidying it up, it's kind of sweet really.

[kayakamina]

I agree Boo and hoped my posting would imply that.

[craft1948]

wouldn't you just PYSL if you got an email saying......you have an answer to your question.....

[B00]

That happened to...errrr Smudge I think, a few months back Craft- she got a reply from a question she posted in 2005!

[Jumbuck]

The reason why I pointed it out (and I bet he/she loves the publicity) is that on previous occasions some people see these appearing on the Latest Posts panel, and then have gone to the bother of spending time answering these questions without noticing that the date on which they were posted is long ago. It is not until this is pointed out to them that they realise that they have been wasting their time on quizzes / puzzles which have been over and done with many moons ago; I know I would be rather irritated if that happened to me.

[vulcan]

At least he/she has created today's most interesting discussion, even Spare Ed has joined in.

[kayakamina]
