hot topics at the mo
to add to the debate discussed elsewhere re: the hardest cryptic crossword currently - i have done my first ev today thanks to your download and didnt take me long, also been doing the spectator for a few weeks now (again thanks to your links) but i still feel the listener is the hardest - although i am getting better at them.
and concerning the other debate re this site and the listener - well i dont see any moral issues regarding giving help. i think the best thing about all the crosswords above is the satisfaction of the penny dropping moment - not the prestige of winning (as i dont usually send them off). so if help is at hand why not use it. it has helped me improve.
