I'm a couple of votes missing, from Wayne and Russ, but the time's up, and I've checked
on email and on Yahoo, and I have to go out in 5 minutes, so ...

This was an interesting round, with no clear winner until close to the end.

The next deal is for Tim Lodge with 5 natural points; Chuck Emery and Dan Widdis share
the real winner spot, each with 4 natural points.
