Well there are a lot of us on Q&P that do the same puzzles every week ..so for example if someone asks for the answer to 4d in the Telegraph GK without giving the full clue someone is bound to know because a lot of us do that particular crossword .We are not so braindead that we cannot recognise the name of the newsaper ,mag etc and give an answer .Failing that you only have to ask for the clue which I have often done but in the meantime someone pops up with the answer anyway.
Cryptics are different because you do need the full clue anyway to work out a definition as well as an answer and I agree that in that case no clue is annoying.
You say you enjoy Q&P but I never see you answer anyone clue or no clue .So my point still stands if don't join in then don't complain.We are a happy band and get along well together and quite frankly we can do without moaning minnies.
Why have a go at Q&Ps lankeela? I don�t post in there but that is only because there�s usually someone who has got stuck on the same clue as me, and some kind person has posted the answer! If Q&P upsets you, whatever you do don�t go in B&S, your have a heart attack!!
Wasn't a downfall, was a heartfelt plea. Haven't been back before because I had moved on, not like some of you saddoes, still I suppose you will all now point out that must include me as I have bothered to reply. --- - ---- (3, 1, 4).
