To think AMA should be a separate topic in talk?

No problem with the 'ask me anything' threads, but how about making a separate area for them since they're overtaking chat?

Ah the crematorium attendant one was fascinating. And so sensitively put across. Lots of fears allayed and minds put to rest. Then there was the funeral director one which linked in. Very informative and comforting for many posters who've experienced loss.

I saw the midwife one but didn't read it. I imagine it was very helpful.

The only other one i've actually noticed was the lap dancer one ... kind of illustrates the OPs point really.

I don't mind them but I get really irrationally annoyed when other people butt in. So on the hospice worker thread, a doctor kept chipping in answering the questions and correcting the op.

I've no idea why this irritated me so much & other people were thanking the doctor so it was clearly just me but I had to stop following thread! Blush

I haven't seen the God one though.

The MIL thread is the only one worth reading, the Op is hilarious.

Not another bloody topic. I only look at maybe 4 as it is. There are topics I don't know exist hidden away in Talk.

I agree.

If someone is - as it started off - a crematorium worker, that is interesting, but I did get irritated yesterday by someone answering questions on behalf of a whole nation. I must admit I did keep butting in for a while, but posters were nodding along as if everything they said was the gospel truth and it really wasn't!

Singlenotsingle · 03/07/2018 09:02

Definitely. I just scroll by them. There are too many

Laiste · 03/07/2018 15:18

Ah thanks LeighaJ, i'll have a read :)

SilverySurfer · 03/07/2018 15:46

Either that or they should just fuck off. Boring as hell.

halfwitpicker · 03/07/2018 15:47

Totally agree.

MrsExpo · 03/07/2018 15:56

just hide them, seriously this time next week it will all be forgotten

ILoveMyDressingGown · 07/07/2018 21:07

It is a separate topic now, hooray!! How do you hide the topic so it doesn't appear on active conversations?
