When sifting through Peer Review, one has to contend with the mediocre, the irrelevant and sometimes, absolute dross. But occasionally something crops up that plumbs the depth of mediocrecy that is almost unbelievable. This is one of those occasions.

Get rid of it!

Well, I've definately seen worse things in Peer Review, but you're right, Peer Review should get rid of it.

I'm very surprised how much material gets here wrongly. Probably soon I will unsubscribe from this forum.

Oh dear! Stay with us Cefpret.

I have the funny feeling that this response is just what NWHOTB is angling for. Sticks out a mile.

The trouble is, that with most entries, there is some redeeming features, but I can't see anything in this one which would be remotely redeemable.

Sorry, NWOTB, would you mind removing it. To do this, go to Peer Review, find this entry and click on the 'remove' button. As you're probably not in Brunel, you can do this by clicking the large green button underneath the grey BBC toolbar, which will take you to Peer Review. Do take your time to have a look at the other entries and to find out what Peer Review is all about. If you don't or can't remove it, then we will do it for you - we're helpful like that!

If you'd like help in finding a suitable topic for PR, just ask.

Hi Cefpret, Dont unscribe just yet. There are one or two gems to be found amongst all the dross. Like anything of value, it is rare and worth the waiting for. See: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F48874?thread=216024 Besut wishes Stuart

My considerations are purely technical: My bandwidth will have a sharp drop in the next weeks, so I won't visit h2g2 that often, and it's very unconvenient when you look for new postings and have so many that they don't fit on your PS. (You may be used to that, but I try to avoid it.)

This doesn't mean that I'll stay away from Peer Review; the only disadvantage is that I may overlook some articles.

However, I think that such obviously misguided threads should be avoided, and they are quite numerous in my opinion. Sometimes people only want to bother us, but mostly they didn't know, they just clicked on 'OK' as often as necessary. But besides 'canned responses' I have no patent remedy I must admit ...

hey NWHOTB,

i just wanted to say that such a NOT annoying person like u should LEAVE this entry in peer review because that would so NOT annoy us at all as we all think this entry is EDITED GUIDE material.

spook

note to other scouts: if i know NWHOTB, which i don't, he will read this post, and be annoyong and remove the entry from pr. at least, i hope so. i actually found it interesting, even tho it is not edited guide material.

I've seen a lot of "How to be Annoying" articles on the web. They are normally hilarious. Initially I though that this was going to be just a copy of one of them, which would not be acceptable due to the copyright issues. It turns out not to be. This looks like the author wrote it himself. But unfortunately, it is not funny. So I don't think it is even worth recommending that it be sent to the Alternative Writing Workshop. I suggest it should be removed from Peer Review and that the author should practice his comedy skills a bit more.

We discussed entries such as this on the Scouts e-group and decided to leave them for a week and request a move back to entry. I think it would be highly appropriate in this case.

Any Scout who wishes to second this, BTW, would you do the honours as I shall be away for a few days soon.

Ohh, I don't know, I do think it has some merit, who knows, it could even make editor's selection....

Sorry, no, you're right. Seconded!

Gosh, that was quick KerrAvon! As you've done it so quickly, shall I do the e-mail? OK, done!
