One proposal in the earlier thread is to have a rota of setters instead of WSO - this begs the question, who is willing to be a setter on a rota basis - I'm in

Yep, count me in.
Set up a new User Group for setters - they ask to join you and get accepted.
That gives you both a forum to formalize the rota, and a pool of users to call on.

I must have missed something here. I know that Chris and Matt have left, but I don't think the hamsters have been left completely unattended. What do you know here that I don't?

I don’t have any inside information, but I just notice that there has been not even an official peep about all these changes. Past (sad) experiences make me think of some corporate overlords who don’t know what to do with a newly acquired property. We’ll see…
BTW I think it’s safe to add Kent to the MIA gang.

Cryptic Crossword Clues - it's the way we prove we aren't LLMs
Winner Stays On; the arcane tradition, often seen in pool halls, where the winner stays on the table. By on, we don't actually mean that they have to climb on the table. That tends to be frowned upon.
Dalek Dave. A Dr Who fanatic who wanted to stand for election in UK local elections. He was an accountant and CCC fan, who stumbled into CP one day and decided it was much more interesting than working for a living, so he squatted in the lounge.
