May I also add, That this site and another that I won't mention.
Used to be vibrant with activity due to newcomers wanting to learn from the parse masters on here/ Where are they now ?
You've discouraged them from learning and trying cryptic crosswords for the want of trying to fox the parse masters.
The good people on here are HERE to aid and assist those wanting to learn. But when the basics are at such a high level, they fold. So well done for the encouragement !!
