Well, that doesn't seem quite fair, does it, Johnny?

Note the time that this arrived (both the one from GGroups and the cc you
sent to me made it to my mailbox at the same time).

Your deadline for votes was 9 p.m. today where you are, 4 p.m. today here
on our east coast. Matthew, Tony, Jim, and others might well have helped to
choose a different new dealer if they'd had a chance to vote.

But I guess that's that and the round's over, eh.

A new word will be announced later today.

Glad you mentioned that, Dodi. I had been planning to finally peruse the
definitions and vote later this morning, and was surprised to wake up and find
the results already posted. I just assumed I had lost track of time, but the
original deadline was indeed 2100 UTC.

This round does seem to have closed very early, with results up about 15+
hours ago not 3+ as I expected. As a minor point, the original deadline of
9pm UTC would have been 8am for me not 10am so I may still have missed it.

Dodi,if it is any consolation, I probably would have voted for you thus
ensuring your position!

Dodi and everyone else

My sense of timing is getting worse and I appologise - epsecially to Dodi -
I looked, saw a "9" and closed

My only excuse is distraction becasue of breakdown in our sewage system -
nothing like many of you have had thanks to Sandy but the more difficult
becasue it was totally unexpected: I was still working on it and took a
break - and as I said - saw the "9" and closed. -- its all sorted now
