The dictionary, having won by a large margin, unfortunately declines to deal,

nicely with Delphi, so rolling scores are posted also.

I go a calendar year without dealing, and now twice in four rounds? I blame
karma.

New woid soon.

[Dodi Schultz]

Also, Mike, one other total was wrong: Guerri had 4, but you gave her only
two in the rolling scores. She actually has an unnatural 5, with John's
vote.

--Dodi

[Dodi Schultz]

Yes, I saw John's vote for #8 and #9.

The fix will appear in the next rolling scores
