[Hazlinny]

So sorry, Angie 55. I didn't notice that - don't usually ask on AB.

[dannyk13]

Hazlinny, The Ed has previously stated that it is up to the OP whether a question should be asked or not.

[angie55]

You don't need to apologise to me, I think the apology should be to the quizsetter.

[dannyk13]

Angie, no apology is necessary,the AB does not put restrictions on answering questions provide they do not contravene Site Rules.

[angie55]

danny, the rules of this quiz state "no asking". That means the question should never have been asked. AB rules/guidelines are irrelevant in that case.

[Hazlinny]

Perhaps the setter should have highlighted his "no asking" instruction - there is rather a lot of information regarding the quiz at the top of the page so easy to forget that instruction when doing several quizzes at one time.

[angie55]

But it is highlighted in red.

[Hazlinny]

NOT on my COPY !!!!!! End of conversation!

[dannyk13]

Angie, this point has been decided by the Ed some while ago, setters do not have any control of what questions should or should not be asked on AnswerBank.It is up to the OP to decide.

[Chinajan]

// NOT on my COPY !!!!!! End of conversation! //

Well, you'll never get the other answer now will you? :0)

[angie55]

danny, it's not up to the OP. Setters are allowed to set their own rules for their quizzes. People who enter those quizzes should stick to those rules.

[dannyk13]

Angie, I repeat that setters do not impose rules on AnswerBank.I will leave it at that.

[Hazlinny]

True, Chinajan - just have to puzzle it out as I usually do!!

Danny, read my answer again, I never said they did.

[dannyk13]

Angie //Danny, read my answer again, I never said they did.//
Then I trust that you will refrain from criticising posters who choose to ask questions.

[dannyk13]

Hazlinny //True, Chinajan - just have to puzzle it out as I usually do!!//
Keep checking this thread, I am sure somebody will give you the answer.

[Llanfair]

Danny, No, absolutely NOT! If the rules are that a person should not ask for, then they deserve criticism for doing so! Site Rules don't change that! You really have no conscience at all, do you!

[dannyk13]

Llanfair,You really have no conscience at all, do you!//
In this matter, no.
