May I please remind contributors to this site of the Discussion Policy regarding multiple identities. These are not allowed. There have been several cases recently where people have posted comments under different names. Those responsible know who they are, as do I. Please desist otherwise you will either be put under moderation or, for persistent offenders, banned.
Similarly with regard to the Discussion Policy, there has been an increase recently of off-topic comments. I do not wish to lose the friendly nature of the site but equally would not want comments to stray too far from the relevant topic, i.e. the crossword under discussion.
