Very strange comment a post or two back, to the effect that Borchester Echo stepped in to stop my bear baiting. Who or what am I meant to be baiting? I started a (I hope) amusing thread, "guess who Jenni Murray picked as the great hope of English folk". And I asked people not to spoil the thread by revealing the answer, so that readers would have a chance to guess. Two posts i, said Borchester Echo barged in and revealed the answer. Where was the baiting? Who was the bear?
We get this in quizzes: quiz setters take great pains to type up a quiz, and they ask people doing the quiz to PM the answwers in, dont put them in the thread, so that others have a chance to think. And lo and hehold, some clever dick has to dash in a give the answer on the open thread. Sad. (Well, sad if done deliberately, as it was here apparently).
