How about these?

16. One who habitually imagines patterns or meanings where none actually exist, as in considering the moon to have human features.

I'm curious: why do you have an attachment in your message? I didn't try
to open it, but I think it's probably a copy of the message to which you
replied.

Hm. Weird. It didn't come through here with an attachment. What you saw as
an attachment, I saw as the message to which Frances had apparently
replied; that message was Dave's vote. Which is also strange.

We both use Thunderbird. How did we receive different things?

And I don't show any attachment, at all. There is the message chain, but
everything in that sequence seems to fit. Oddness from Google Groups?

I don't know why we see different things from Frances's message. It may
have something to do with the Tbird settings, or with different versions
of Tbird or who knows? I don't see the "attachment" with anyone else's
messages, which is why I asked.

Another Tbird annoyance which perhaps can be turned off: if you use the
word "attachment", Tbird spots it, produces a message about the
possibility that you have forgotten to attach anything and do you want to.

I will refrain from my litany of things I don't like about this Tbird
version!

OK, I figured out how to keep Tbird from complaining about "missing"
attachments.

As I said, Frances's vote message appeared to me to be a reply to Dave's
vote message (it included Dave's vote, as well as the list of defs, which
Dave had for some reason repeated in his message). I have no idea why you
received it as an attachment. I've never seen any version of Tbird treat a
message that way.

Yes, since I've mentioned the magic word, there's now a line at the very
bottom of my screen suggesting that I might want to attach something. I now
click on the little "x" at the bottom right corner of my screen: [ ]
(that was a click). There! The line's gone! It's just a reminder, in case
you intended to do that but forgot.

I'm using Tbird version 16.0.2; I "upgraded" to 17.0 (there's now a 17.0.5,
I think), but I didn't like it and "downgraded".

Dodi,

On Tbird's "attachment" warning: I wanted to STOP it, not dismiss it
when it appeared. In case anyone is interested in eliminating it:
Tools|Options, then click Composition, and remove the check mark from
"Check for missing attachments".

As far as why I see an attachment in Frances's message and you don't, I
do have a theory. There is a view setting to "display attachments
inline". I have it unchecked. In the top screen of Tbird, Frances's
message shows with a paper clip to the left of it. When I read the
message, at the bottom there is a paper clip and the words "1
attachment: ForwardedMessage.eml". So I am guessing that instead of
replying to Dave's message (or more properly, replying to the "call for
votes" message), she chose to forward Dave's message as an attachment.

I would expect that everyone would then see the paper clip, but maybe if
you view attachments inline, the paper clip doesn't appear.

I am assuming that you see no paper clip next to Frances's message.

At least one other possibility is that something changed between my
Tbird version and yours.

So this still leaves me curious about what Frances did, and we probably
won't know until/unless she tells us. I am pretty sure it happened in
the previous round as well.

Yes, true. I didn't realize that you wanted to totally kill it.

Quite right: I /do/ "display attachments inline". And you're certainly
describing an attachment. (BTW, I just got, and turned off, that reminder
line.) I think your theory's correct. But: No other players mentioned
seeing what you saw, which is odd. It would be interesting to know if
others did see the paper clip and/or saw Dave's message as attached to Fran's.
