    No, I didn't think so....

    No it wasn't. So you're right when you say that you didn't think so but that's still not a right answer. Right?

    Here's a cryptic answer:

    A deaf man knows not if the bells ring for him
    "I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."

    Earlier in this thread, someone accused Crabtree of being confused. Compared to this stuff, he's a model of crystalline lucidity!

    Yes. Of course. But why don't you spell it out for the benefit of those amongst our members who are not cryptic crossword solvers.
