Cross Words for the Crossword

Dear Editor,
    Josh Reynolds has been providing The Austin Chronicle with crosswords for as long as I can remember. I cannot remember that long ago, but it's been years at least. I have done nothing but be disappointed by not only the clues, which frequently include M*A*S*H references and German language translations, but also the frequency of repeated clues. There is no critical thinking involved at this point if you've done any of his previous puzzles. I held my tongue for years as I watched him reuse and abuse hints. My tipping point finally occurred during last week's crossword, which I breezed through with ease. A little too much ease. After about six or seven words, I realized not only did he reuse his clues, but this time, recycled the entire crossword. I went and cross-referenced a previous crossword from six weeks prior, and a word for word bastardry of a replication appeared before my eyes. If he is being paid for these weekly, he is ripping off all of Austin. The crossword is one of my very few joys in life, and J Reynolds making a mockery of me and my time won't stand. I implore you to search your hearts and find it in yourself to fire him, and have him barred from ever typing another reference to Rene Russo from Lethal Weapon.
