    I never know how to format your meta answers. I enjoyed the grid! Thanks!

      I really like your puzzles. They are challenging and witty and smartly clued. I have learned from them, which I love. Thank you! Just to expand on kurtalert's comment... I think there might be something you don't know about so-called "meta" puzzles. When you set the puzzle as a "meta" puzzle and require people to enter an answer, we all assume that the constructor has provided cues to a specific meta answer. That might be something like "Bob Dylan". If the constructor tells crosshare that "Bob Dylan" is the answer, then a solver will be rewarded with a "you got it!" if they enter things like "bobdylan", "BOBDYLAN", "Bob DYlAn", or "B,o-B&D/yla n". But not if they enter "Dylan". You as a constructor are in charge of what count as correct answers for the meta. Since your puzzles are so well constructed and your meta answers seem so odd, I think you are not yeat really acquainted with the meta crossword world. And you should be! We would all love to have your puzzles. The "classic" meta crosswords are Wall Street Journal Friday ones and Matt Gaffney Weekly Crossword Contest. But there's an entire site devoted to fans of meta crosswords: xword-muggles.com. (Finally, I love that you include cryptic clues in your puzzles)
