with Chambers's cough...sigh)

Something is wrong. I know that at least one person voted for my definition (#11) -- Dan Widdis. Ah, I see you show him as N/V -- but he did vote. I believe there was at least one other vote for #11.

I'll check further . . .

Yes, Erin and Dan voted for #11.

Dan said, "1 for brevity and 11 on the off chance I can learn a new game" and Erin said, "How about 11 and 14!"

At this point, I need every vote I can get! <G>
