It seems that Yahoo has finally coughed up the votes that went missing during its problems last
week. Adding them in does not change the winner of the round, so the following round would not be
affected. I think we have agreed in the past, though, that such votes should be taken into account
in the rolling and cumulative scores, so following are the revised results for round 1779.

The changes are:

Chris Carson voted for 5 and 12.
Scott Crom voted for 2 and 12.
Russ Heimerson voted for 16 and 18.

Thus extra votes go to:

Tony Abell (#2, 1)
Judy Madnick (#5, 1)
Dan Widdis {#12, 2)
The Concise Oxford Dictionary (#16, 1)
Scott Crom (#18,1)
