Er, the below was from me. Wrong account. And to compound the error, it
got moderated and I approved it. :|

The account which I'm having my compuserve.com mail delivered to. Which I
inadvertently replied from. Sorry. :)

It's kind of an interesting name, actually. Sounds like, maybe, a
deep-sea-diving vehicle. Or a toothpaste.

Isn't 10am Sunday only about 12 hours after this message was posted? In the
event that the deadline isn't quite so tight, I'll cast votes for 6 and 7.
Although I did like number 8. It sounds like a Jeopardy item the answer to
which is "What is the New Jersey legislature".

Chris

[dixonary@siam.co.uk]

3 and 14, please.

Best wishes,

Tim B

[Nancy Shepherdson]

I'll take 5 and 10, please.

[Russ Heimerson]

I'm sure you didn't mean 10:00 AM EDT today....

I'll toss my votes at #9 and #10, please.

Russ

[Toni Savage]

AWwwww.. Aquadyne! Brings back memories...

Is there still time to vote? The deadline actually posted was too short,
according to the rules.

I'll take a stab at 6 and 7, if I may.

At tapcis.com, mike has edited the deadline to 10am Monday. Which
just passed.

Edits don't propogate to the group, apparently. In any case, I think
the rule of "vote until the results are posted" generally applies.

[Guerri Stevens]

Now that we know that an edited message doesn't get propogated, maybe
the people playing at tapcis.com will create a new message if the
deadline is changed. Voting until results announced is still a good
idea, though!
