Is AnswerBank like other Banks.?

[vivandorron]

Does AnswerBank just want depositors and has a complete disregard for the individuals concerned.?

Witness some of my correspondence with the AB Editor :-

10th May

Dear Editor,

Within the space of two days I received from you e/mails which are identical and which wrongly imply that I have not been on-line for some time.

However, you are refraining from answering my original e/mail to your office, dated 3rd April 2009.

Am I correct in saying that you need to adjust your computers to sort-out e/mail communications.?

Accordingly. I have appended hereto a copy of my most recent communication to your office.

Yours faithfully ..........Ron Warner



4th May

Dear Editor,

I may not be online as regularly as some folk are, but I would say that at least once a week my name appears in the columns of AnswerBank.

Consequently I shall disregard the contents of your present e/mail and look forward to your comments on the following:

Dear Editor,

It is the case that I receive E/mail notification of replies to questions which I post in AnswerBank. However,such mail is no longer forthcoming in respect of Subscribed Threads.

Accordingly, I would appreciate your comments on the issue concerned.

Your faithfully.......Ron Warner.

Hi Ron

[vivandorron]

If there is a technical ****up on the site then the Editorial staff should advise us all by e/mail : instead of sending regular contributors e/mails as an invite to re-join the site.

[legend.isgod]

unlike other banks

when ab crashes
we all just watch tv or go elsewhere.


buttt
when banks crash it costs plenty

[vivandorron]

A reasonable comment Leggy. ... Ron

[TCL-MUMPING]

Does it not make more sense to concentrate time, effort and money on e-mailing on the right folk rather than folk who HAVE been on or ones who have been banned and removed?

[sara3]

I think we've all had the email.

regardless, any time I've mailed the site I have never had a response.

[vivandorron]

Perhaps we should all look for another site; but could we find anything better than AB.? that now becomes my question.

[dot.haukes]

I have had an email from the spare ed this afternoon telling me she had removed the posts that i sent her a link to, they were insulting and/or abusive to me personally, she also removed one of my posts where I asked Legend if he was ill, gawd knows why she thought that was offensive.

I think she has actually been reading as she zapped and was quite thorough, not standing for the slightest bit of trouble.

[MWB]

Hello Dot.

Abusive to you personally, eh?

Look at yourself before you blithely post that tripe please.

You called me a "smarmy mare."

How, exactly, do you want AB to be? Run only your way?

PS: The email I got from the ED the other day said he/she was fully aware of the nonsense that can be posted, but to persevere as the new AB will sort it out.

Please, dot, stop making trouble & let everyone use AB their own way? Thanks.

[dot.haukes]

yeah whatever MWB, keep trying, you'll fit in eventually

[MWB]

Fit into what, dot?

[vivandorron]

I'm off to bed ; but for info: Dot has never ever been rude to me; but the Editorial staff of AB has, by not replying to reasonable communications...Ron

ABEd and techs never reply to 'contact us' emails.
its pointless trying.

I spend more time on yahoo answers these days.
