I'm back in CBE and after a honeymoon period of six months in NY, the nightmare getting services restored and moving has taken up all my solving time-- i've cuttings backlogs of local issues and today, I decided to solve Incognito first before reading all those dismal shenanigans of mother and son .<br />I saw all the brickbats for my Sunday special and am too late to respond as it will be of no avail. I depend upon my editors CV, DG and Kishore to tweak my clues as I mark my drafts to the triumvirates , being a novitiate in compiling. They have been kind enough to oblige . Thanks to them !<br /><br />My Larousse defines COLOPHONY as ROSIN and I've in the past faced such situations of RMDC type of answers ! Here for Incognito's comfort, I'll put my dime for ROSIN !<br /><br />As regards ambiguity in answers, cryptic crosswords should be absolutely unambiguous ! <br /><br />With regards to classifying the clues as DD-CD anagrams etc, it should be a free for all as compiling with such constraints on mind will only drive one crazy ! As long as there is good wordplay and gridfill, one should enjoy what's offered. Solvers can be easy in their cosy space but a compiler has to bring in new challenges within the rules of the puzzle and hence given due credit. <br /><br />In today's crossie, INAMORATA made me feel romantic !
