I think you are still doing what I sometimes do, Cartesian- forgetting to see whether a question has already been fully answered

[rsvp]

Mean this is the nicest possible way FF but does it really matter that the question has already been answered? I've been 'brought up' recently for answering an already solved clue but sometimes we all have slow connection, been away, don't have time to check for answers - anyone answering is only trying to help after all. Please don't think I'm being contentious because I'm not - just know I was a little offended to be told the question had already been answered - I'd been away and was tring to catch up quickly :-)) Really......:-))

typo - >> trying

[fiction-factory]

I am often a minute late and get a little annoyed when people tell me to look up, so i know what you mean, and sometimes I respond quickly to one on latest posts and then realise it was answered ages ago. But some posters regularly answer questions that were answered hours earlier like this one and sometimes days later so maybe they don't realise that they need to tab down to check for existing answers. Of course they may know this and may just be pleased to show they've worked it out too, which is fine and harmless if that's what they enjoy

I'm so thick FF - I'm just pleased I got the answer right even if it's a week late! - think it's called old age.
Stay well
