It is obvious that having more than one thread has caused a great deal of confusion recently, nobody seems sure which thread they should be posting in so I thought it was time for yet another radical rethink
I have decided to have just one thread for the 2 remaining Listener Crosswords in December.
I have kept the preamble as short as possible in that thread, please read it and join in the discussion in a nice friendly manner, I want the discord of recent weeks banished to history.
After discussions in this week’s Gentle Hints thread, I have decided not to allow use of the Encoder. Please stick to simple English, this works very well with every other thread in the Forum, so please make it work for the Listener.
I would just like you to remind everyone that I have tried various ways to accommodate all viewpoints, we’ve had two threads, then three threads and I was (briefly) thinking about encoding. It's not my fault these ideas haven't worked, and it's not the fault of any specific members, it's more a case that there isn’t a 'one size fits all' solution. I’ll keep trying.
Just remember that the Listener is a unique puzzle, please treat it with the respect it deserves and do not give too much away when answering requests for help.
