Greetings, found my way here from the dead cryptic thread. (Thought this one was specifically for creating your own and passing it on, but I'll stick my general noob queries/befuddlements here.)
So, if you haven't seen, The Nation has 5 puzzlers vying to replace the late Frank Lewis:
http://www.thenation.com/article/159126/five-vie-puzzlers-mantle?page=full
I solved my first-ever complete puzzle today (Nestor Nightspree's) but I gather from online pundits that this one was easier than the norm, and not particularly well written.

finished nestor's (except for the bismarck clue). pretty facile, but not unfair. never come across that spelling of 'cigaret' before though.

Yeah, facile's the skill level I'm at at present. (This still took me a couple days, off and on.)
― Partyin', partyin', fun fun fun fun (Dan Peterson), Wednesday, 30 March 2011 15:42 (fifteen years ago)
well you beat me, if you got the bismarck one!

how to dispose of a gospel (6)
― the salmon of procrastination (darraghmac), Thursday, 31 March 2011 15:06 (fifteen years ago)
I want to say remark, but not sure I can justify that meaning "how to dispose"
― ailsa, Thursday, 31 March 2011 15:31 (fifteen years ago)
i'd like to see you do that, certainly
― the salmon of procrastination (darraghmac), Thursday, 31 March 2011 16:48 (fifteen years ago)
Nah, for "not sure I can" read "I definitely can't"

yay!

sure the other one is something to do with nut but i just can't get it.
finished (well more or less) the next two of those nation crosswords. they're getting harder, but not much better. some good clues, some bad, pretty average over all. *spoiler* '44' as a definition for 'barack obama' is a real teeth-grinder.
