I read that article earlier today and it was fascinating. Not a place where I'd have expected that. (The documentary referenced in the article was very good too-I watched it on Netflix a few years ago.)

hee! but i usually do crosswords with a pen.

Me, too. I write small, and it's easier to read than pencil.

J and I do a moderate number of crosswords on an almost daily basis - including an 'old' feed of NYT puzzles -and- both UClick sources. We keep thinking we're hitting deja-vu, or accidentally repeating puzzles, but could never figure out when/which...

This... explains a lot. :)

yeah, i've been following that with great fascination too!
