I took it as appropriate = lift (steal) so double definition - excellent puzzle. 15 across My first entry! I took it as appropriate = lift (steal) so double definition - excellent puzzle.

Everything below 18A went in very quickly, but I got bogged down in the top half, particularly with MAXI SINGLE and TRAVEL AGENT.

I think "finding" would have been much better. 15A I read this as just a cryptic definition.

I can only recall three in my editorship: one for his wife's birthday, one for his 200th Indy puzzle and ASH in all the across answers for one Ash Wednesday. Ninas are very rare in Dac puzzles.
