Hm. Something about the timing i chose? It is now the voting deadline,
and only 5 votes have come in. I think i have correctly checked the
message board, and see the same. 5 + 4 DQs = 9, so that isn't a record low
turnout, exactly.

Wow - that was a lot of Dixonary Match-making for Shani and Efrem!
{All} *4-and-a-half
pairs of votes 9+11!*
I think the only reason that Shani Naylor didn't vote for the unstoppable
military duo of 9 & 11 is that 9 was hers.
Which was rather cunning of her, because it just edged her down into the
"real winnah" spot by one. (I kid, she could have voted with the throng
with the same result, but no chance at getting the correct one ... so ....)

I know we are all focusing on Judy (i've shared my wishes earlier, my own
quad bypass 9 years ago went rather well.) so i will just announce that the
poor soul who must take up the deal yet again in Efrem, while Shani basks
in the middle score, with another DQ in 3rd place: number 4 in your
program, number 3 in your heart - Tim Lodge.

Well, my deals *always *go oddly. Obviously, i should have redealt even
with my late realisation.
*I will NOT feel right taking a D1 in these conditions*. I wanna get a
real one. Definition #5 is the real stuff.

Over to Efrem, with my congrat-*dolences *on your dealing win.

I have a small complaint: according to my Email software the call for
votes was posted on March 5 at 7:37 a.m. Eastern time. The voting
deadline was March 6 at 6 a.m. If I have those numbers correctly, the
deadline was not quite 24 hours. I thought we were allowing longer than
24 hours, and in fact was assuming 36 hours.

Please don't give me dealer points. I rarely guess the correct word
anyway, and no one voted for mine. I am just curious about the shorter
voting period.

Mea culpa. Just standard-issue cranial flatulence. I intended 36 hours...
i suppose i rushed that math. It helps explain the low vote count, too.
I'm glad you pointed it out. I don't know any way to make it right,
either. Thoughts from the longer-involved players?

I wouldn't worry about "making it right". Just watch your back <evil grin>.
