In reference to The Judge Sums Up BIG FEB. relating to Goliathon Dec.’09 , I considered ‘two-by two craft’ as one of the easier clues.
What is the purpose of a crossword , such as The Demon or Goliathon , without a challenge?
Christine , I also feel you have been too lenient in increasing the closing time for completing ‘BIG’ as I believe a dead-line is that -a dead-line. Occasionally family commitments have prevented me from entering THE ‘DIY’ – So be it !
I always enjoy The Judge Sums Up with the history of word origins and your interesting explanations. Life is a constant learning experience.
A BIG thank you to the entire Lovatts team.

Regards , Billie.
