Saoirs, Did you do any of this prize crossword yourself ? It appears that you want AB to do it all for you.

Longacres - that reply/response is redundant on an Q&A site

Mamyalynne, I disagree. There are 30 clues in this crossword & Saoirs has asked AB for help with 21. I regard this as cheating.
We all like to help each other but this is a step too far . Where is the challenge & satisfaction?

I don't think it matters why someone wants help. Some users like helping and we are all free to choose whether we want to help or not. But I would agree if your concern was that someone is posting clues one at a time and therefore hogging the page and relegating other posters down the list. I think combining 2-4 clues in one post is better.
