Apropos of nada, my first solve was 9a which is bizarre. The last was 5d which blindingly obvious. Elvis once complemented Steve Martin on his O-blique sense of humour saying "I too have an O-blique sense of humour". I get the feeling I am increasingly becoming an O-blique solver. Uh huh huh!
As the author of many regrettable error-strewn posts, I wouldn't mind an "edit" feature. 🤣
But we're dependent on generosity (relative or friend of norah? I'm not sure) to maintain the forum and related software, so I just appreciate what's available.
So sorry Jeneralissima, I stupidly moved away from this and have only just seen your reply. Thank you so much.
I assume others have helped you out on the NE and you've probably finished it now.
I won't be so daft next time. Cheers Jossy
