1. kind of a pity isn't it?
it was a cool idea, and I trust you recognize that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but I can see it turning into the new "ask me anything", which was pretty neat when rbnyc did it, but now is just a post-builder excuse.

3. excuse me?
A time waster, I'll give you. But not post building. I have a big mouth/ keyboard. It comes naturally to me. I don't need to pad posts.

5. you're excused
you weren't here (at least registered) when rbnyc did her "ask me anything" threads, so you don't know what they were like.

I also wasn't accusing any of you copycatters of post building; just lamenting the lack of originality of idea, while at the same time acknowledging that what you do is flattering to Mr Scorpio, whose idea this was.

:hi:

I say all of that as someone who doesn't come here with many original ideas, and so doesn't start many threads.

2. Good for you for starting this.
It's much more stimulating and educational than the usual idiocy that goes on in the Lounge.

6. I thought it was great.
I can't believe someone hadn't thought of doing that earlier, because a message board is the perfect format for it. I really enjoyed it.
