Rob,
Thank you for your message which clarifies a lot.
I understand you have been triggered by the 21 minute response of Fauteuil.
That was indeed quite fast.
Officially the 24 hour rule was lifted by the Mods some months ago.
I understand it is again in force.
I agree with your intention that this should be an international thread in which pprunes from all time zones should be enabled to contribute.
In the last month I personally have PMed one or two Quick contributors to warn them not to spoil the search for others. In these threads one does not get points for the quickest answer.
Each should obtain ones satisfaction by solving the mystery themselves.
If the challenge is so easy that one can answer it quickly, the satisfaction must also be less?
I leave those challenges for others to ponder over as they apparently have not fully understood the clues.
If you feel the urge to post a lot of challenges yourself, you do not have to answer quickly because there are lots of opportunities to post at Open House.
Quick answering and then declare Open House certainly does not help anyone.
Long time contributors will see that I learned some things myself and I apologize for having sinned.
Rob, via PMs I know Fauteuil has understood this.
I think your post above would have been enough warning.
Blocking without warning or clarification will not reach your goal.
I hope you are willing to end the blocking soon?
