I don't really think it's true though Tim. I rarely if ever see a crossword post UN answered no matter what section it's posted in. I like your concept of"better"help though = surely it's either right or wrong rather than a better or worse answer
it is possible that people make mistakes as I did yesterday. I always trawl through both crosswords and quizzes to see if I can get an answer but yesterday I forgot to go back to Crosswords before posting my questions. you do get a bit forgetful when you get old
