Yes I did see that bridgenut and thanks. Sadly, AB being the size that it is, I am not quite sure that AB Ed will actually see your post to be able to reply to it.
What she has done is respond to my suggestion that the notice within Q and P is amended to include all questions on the same topic, rather than leave it as appearing to be addressed to crossword questions only.

This will hopefully go some way to addressing our concerns - here is hoping! Sadly I do not think we will ever get newcomers using the search facility properly but I live in hope!
