How the clue works
Respondents is the definition, giving ANSWERERS. Take AS (from "as can be seen") and split it to wrap around the fill: "all points" gives the compass letters N, S, W, E, then "about" gives RE and "right" gives R. Putting NSWE, RE and R inside the A...S of AS builds A-NSWERER-S, spelling ANSWERERS.
