OK I will do it this once only because I am such a nice guy 
Anyway, you started this thread (9 months ago) with the question "What is your favourite urban magazine". You were probably thinking to yourself, 'that's a straightforward enough question'.
However, a number of responses came back to the effect "What do you mean by urban". The respondants probably thinking, 'that's a straightforward enough question', especiallysince urban is a word which can be used in more than one context.
Naturally people assumed thatsince you asked the question, then you must have had some idea what you meant by urban, so it made sense to ask you in order to be able to answer your question more specifically.
For some reason you found the question baffling or surprising or something, no doubt because you thought everyone knewwhat you meant by urban - and you appeared not to take too kindly to being asked - even though, as I said before, the word can have more than one meaning.
People then proceeded to post examples of urban magazines so as to, one;illustrate the different connotations that could be applied to urban, and two; no doubt to take the micky a little.
Who knows, if you had answered the question sooner there may have been less of the micky taking, though I wouldn't swear to it.

There are those who feel that the only way to ‘prove their own worth’ is by ‘devaluing the worth of others’. You will often find that a man who is compelled to measure his substance against the substance of another, has little of substance in the first place!
