Sorry, NACW, about the way I posed the question! MLN:Rugby’s statement alarmed me somewhat and what I really wanted to know is what influence does MLN:Rugby have in identifying crossword lovers on the AB and determining whether their submissions are accepted or not for the prize draws.
Thanks, bobbinwales, for your confidence! And thanks also, Dannyk13, for your kind offer!

Yes, u10 - the two you mention have definitions but they're not 'thematic' definitions (they would be double def clues with the thematic elements added).
Matakari, MLN Rugby has asked for answers in the past and given them too - you're doing the same, so it can only be a question of degree.
I wouldn't worry about it - if some solvers really are being blacklisted then the setters/editors are more petty minded than I thought (but I doubt that, because it would be more trouble than it's worth).

The revised 13th edition hardback has the list of names, it was published in 2016 and is still the standard reference for The Listener Crossword (although it isn't often mentioned in Spectator puzzles).
Spectator puzzles often reference Brewer's and, from what I've read, that gets updated more frequently, so its lists can become outdated quite quickly (at least I think that's right - I haven't got a copy so I can't be sure).

Good evening ProfessorMaisie, I thank you for reassuring me about the terrible remarks made by MLN:Rugby. I’m still aghast that someone would go to those extremes to blacklist a solver who seeks help with the crosswords! It’s a frightening situation, indeed! But I’ll definitely continue doing my crosswords because I keep learning a great deal. Thanks again!
Matakari,I have just noticed that you apologised for your bizarre question - thanks.
I wouldn't waste too much time being 'aghast' or 'alarmed'. You've dealt with these very issues (sometimes even with the setters themselves) before in the past. I'm sure you'll continue to cope - and continue to ask for, and be given, the help you need.
