A Q&P whinge
28 Answers
What is the point of doing a crossword/quiz then asking other people for the answers ?
I thought the whole point of completing crosswords/quizzes was just that - you complete it, alone, as a personal test of your own knowledge. I feel the same about cheating with dictionaries and thesauruses.
I would understand if the Q&A section was used mostly by people setting questions for us to puzzle over, but when I come here and see that little side bar absolutely crammed with unanswered newspaper crossword or quiz clues, my heart does a mini-sink.
IMO it dilutes all the 'proper' questions or fun and shinanigans in CB.

Why didn't you post this on the Q& P topics AP. Sometimes when you get stuck on a crossword clue and it becomes annoying, it is nice to be able to look on this site to find like-minded people to swap answers and sometimes whinge about a particular crossword. Are you saying you manage to do all your crosswords without seeking the answers you need?
