From the Guidelines -
1. Please be helpful and kind when offering answers, solutions and suggestions. Suggesting another user should “try harder,” will not be tolerated – quizzers of all abilities are free to use the website as they please.
2. Although thanks should be forthcoming from any users you have helped demanding thanks for your help is not in the spirit of The AnswerBank.
This poster asks for nearly all the answers to this crossword every year and never enters into any kind of friendly dialogue with those who help him - I don't think that is in the spirit of Answerbank.
I'll help anybody and most everyone, LiK, goodness knows we need the traffic, but in this case I'll decline (especially as the OP has previous for asking virtually the whole crossword, without it seems, trying too hard to solve any clues, noticeable by the lack of any letters already placed). Sorry.
Being thanked is nice but it really doesn't bother me too much if I'm not - the answers are now there for anyone else looking at AB & *they* might say something. It happens.
