Well, this has been an interesting round, to say the least. Johnny Barrs posts his def and
his possible DQ publicly, which he was not, according to my dictionary. Notwithstanding, he
gets 3 votes. I wasn't going to comment on it because some people had already submitted definitions
similar to those John thought he was DQ on and if I say that he is not, then he will know not to vote
for those defs. Then Guerri Stevens submitted a def exactly the same as the real def in one of the
dictionaries I referenced. And then Tim Lodge voted twice, for different defs (I used the first one).
And if that weren't enough, Froma's dixonary program suddenly decided it didn't like multiple submitters
for the same def, so I had to score the round by hand. In any case, Paul Keating is the clear winner
and dealer for the next round.
