I'll take 1 (a stupid fellow; a poor-spirited person) and 14 (a farmer's cart), two very different definitions, but at least I've shown that I've read'em all.

now that is an interesting one - "reply x" strikes again -

this one arrives at me as to "Dix group - from Dix Group" looking at
source for the message eventually I can see it is from Lorise
<loriseg (AT) aol (DOT) com> maybe one of the computer geeks can explain how that
happened

also - as /'reply list' it tells me *now* that it is from Lorise - see
below - but just reading the message shows only to to and from as the group/
