Looks like the vox has popped. With all the submitters and 4 non-submitters
having voted, I declare the voting closed (per one of the rules).
*
Mike S is the next dealer, with a very nice natural 8 for his incessant chatter.
Tim L and Paul K tied for a not-close second, with 4 points each.
Dealer got a rather ordinary D3, but I was very happy with the quality of the
definitions!
