Over and out

For the few regulars - Priya, Gibbo, Anonymouse and Editoramma - who patronise this squibz, sincere thanks for the pleasure of your company. I'm going back to spending my free time doing something else I enjoy: inventing words. (And, of course, writing my Magnum Flopus.) I'd also like to thank Anantha for having inspired me (yet again) to try my hand at clueing. (God knows I'm not very good at quizzing, either.) I'll be back. Maybe. Until then, whatever.
