How does this site work?!

[andi17]

I know its prob a bit late in the day to be asking, but I only discovered this site this morning when I asked Jeeves a question ( thanks Tremendous for the answer, I can drive my man even further up the wall after I've bought the song and learned ALL the words.. shame he never feels like buying me flowers eh?!!)
Whats the deal with this chatterbank thing? I assume knobbynonot has very little to do, you feature an awful lot on this site! Says I, who for the past 9 hours has done very little of the work I get paid for.
I'm not very computer savvy, so what do I have to do to join in the fun??

Why should you not in your work be using the AB for legitimate purposes ? It's a good Q/A site with many different serious sections.

[andi17]

yeah til somebody from work looks at what I've been jabbering on about! And let me tell you, it aint work-related at all my dear. Unless it involves heart attacks, RTC's, old folk and unfortunate accidents!

[andi17]

Gotta go now, work almost up. Thanks for making me so welcome. xx
