    I like that 2d made me think... if that kind of letter selection violates a rule, that rule was meant to be broken... it was a bit tempered by seeing the exact same parse for 6d, but thats personal taste, I prefer more of a variety... to wit, there were a lot of hidden I felt
    I think 7a needs a homophone indicator... also it semi-dupes 10a
    Thanks for the puzzles, keep up the good work
