Could it be deciphered in a jiffy? NO WAY JOSE. Leave the ETHIC part of our behavior.<br />For , some had to turn a little bit of CHEAT to observe how the end letter of an across clue TRANSFERS into the first letter of the next across clue!! Who knows? This SPHERE of knowledge may soon be aped by other setters also. Their crosswords may cross the borders of our country and could fetch them money in EURO too! ONCE this is done, then there is no stopping.<br />An apple is EDIBLE, a nice crossword is savourable!!<br />Soon our setters will be ENTREATED to bring in more such innovations.<br />After having DWELT on the innovative trend that has set in maybe we should<br />meet at a Five Star Hotel, climb the STAIR* get into the bar for some beer along<br />with the gentle music from the SITAR*.<br />Long after, we shall have etched in our memories: Wow, our crosswords are no longer rigid, no more INELASTIC. They have taken wings and flying high in the sky.<br />Who knows, our setters may soon gather together and form Global CONCLOMERATES !!<br />C.G.

Congrats on a beautifully conceived grid. How much time did you take ? Do you follow any specific software system or device ? <br /><br />I still maintain that THCC is very unique with its multi-talented compilers and I wish we get a world wide spread of more solvers participating here. Is the any way or idea with any one? I know that we are on www and hence all the more reason to spread our reach.<br /><br />Keep up the good work with our innovative construction. I pull my collar up for the Col and his followers in this blog.raju umamaheswarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07107883886526369417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-72679853341231940892014-07-26T18:04:29.898+05:302014-07-26T18:04:29.898+05:30Thanks Sowmya.
