woid. I thought we were defining GABION.

Oh, wait. There it is.

Seems the server settings that have worked for the past few years have
suddenly decided to stop working.

I still don't recognize my own def!

Dan,

Do you have an alter ego? You sent me a def on 3/27 in response to the message replacing gabion with glaikit. It is included in the list below. I would tell you which one, but maybe you should take that up with your evil twin.

The fact that I sent you a def (and even replied to this woid when you
posted it) doesn't change the fact that I don't recognize it! (And can't
find it in my sent items, and am missing the last 2 days of posts from
the list.)

I'm sure I'll get my server issues squared away soon.

Well, I still can't find my own record of the def I sent, and with
memory failing me, I hope I don't vote for it.

Maybe my def is so bad it doesn't even fool me...

I'll vote for 4 and 7, please!

I'll go for the ill-favoured Scot and - as a reward for imagination - the albino flamingo. That's 4 and 13.
