regular questions ?

[crete]

ed, obviously the pink questions are now a daily occurance, why do you confine them to B S and NEWS ? especially as there are numerous topics and indeed sub topics to choose from now ?

[B00]

I hought about this too crete, and came to this conclusion.....
B&S because it's usually filled with conversations and iffy topics and news because it can get volatile sometimes in there?

I could of course be talking rubbish though.

[Octavius]

I would tend to agree with B00 (probably not the rubbish bit, well not here anyway) and perhaps would add that both topics are often overtaken driven by some ABers overwhelming obsession for being constantly at the �top of the page�. This new system somewhat negates that aspiration.

[Octavius]

Oh dear, for some reason writing about B00�s post made me get all muddled up with my motoring terms (overtaken, driven etc).

[athenae]

.. in other words News and B&S are the Topics carrying the most 'chat' traffic

[AB Editor]

Hi,

The 'AB Asks' feature can also be found in other channels, for example today they are situated in - Valentines and Current Affairs also.

What other topics would you like to see them in?

AB Ed

The ones in valentine section are getting a huge response!

[crete]

as is current affairs.

[B00]

i think crete that a lie down in a dark room is required from the shock you are no doubt feeling that Ed has replied in your post ;-)

[crete]

actually BOO im very flattered, lets hope they dont police me too much now .p s thanks ed for quick response

[smudge]

Hi Ed, seeing as you're asking.......

As the Body & Soul topic appears to have become a new form of ChatterBank in recent times - is there any chance of having a Health Issues category (or sub-category)?

That way, the more 'serious' Q's can be asked, without disappearing off the page so quickly!

[DJerba]

Thats not what the ED was actually asking Smudge, prehaps you should just try using the Health and fitness section under B&S. Anyway in response to your question Ed I think there should be one in Media or TV.

[smudge]

P.S. That was meant as tongue in cheek & was only testing to see how many realised there is actually a Health sub-cat under Body &Soul!!!!

It's just that the main B&S category appears more like a chat category to some, rather than anything to do with the actual body or the soul these days! ;o}

[smudge]

P.P.S. Yes I've been using AB long enough to realise that DJerba - but as we don't seem to get much repsonse from the Ed these days - I thought it was a golden opportunity to mention the misuse of Body & Soul - that's all. Ne'er mind!

[smudge]

*response even!

Get it? ;o}
