      The pity of it is that I could of course have done a clue for "Telemarking", along very similar lines.

        Wrong number of letters...

        And there would have been blizzards of disapproval...

          I'd have used a different number of letters, though.

                  Incidentally, for all we are hard on each other's clueing at times, I thought yesterday's Araucaria was pretty slipshod in places. One of the clues (1d) seemed, as far as I can tell, to have two cryptic bits and no definition.

                                    Yes, I thought that: "EXCELS", right? I didn't get that. I did get "MOPE", whichever that was, though that clue too was technically unfair, I reckon. I was annoyed at not getting CINCTURE; I managed the rest.

                                        Yeah, 'EXCELS' is what I was thinking of. I have to admit, much of the puzzle went unsolved for me until I got the solutions today.

                                          What was the clue? (For those of us who might be interested but would have no access to the paper)
