It pains me to say this (because it makes me the new dealer), but you
seem to have missed Nancy Shepherdson's voting message:

>>Date: Wed, Apr 29 2009 2:10*pm
>From: Nancy Shepherdson
>
>I'll take 2 and 8 as least unlikely.
>
>Nancy <<

That puts me up to 5 points and since I'm ahead of Dave Cunningham in
the rolling scores, makes me the new dealer. New word coming up
shortly. I'm sure Dave won't mind!
