It looks like everybody who's going to vote has voted, and 2 players
earned top spot with 6 points: they were Mike Shefler and Paul
Keating. Mike Shefler takes the deal.
There were 2 players in runner-up position with 4 points each: Tony
Abell and Tony Abell. (Obviously I have a loose alias somewhere in
the software.) Russ Heimerson also has 4 points. Again, my apologies
for losing three definitions. I know what I did wrong in reading the
messages into Coryphaeus, and I'll try to not do it again.
The true definition was 5: "a mound of earth pushed up by or formed
near the edge of a glacier, found in alpine and arctic areas."

picked, leaving me with a D2.
