[MICHAEL HARRINGTON]

I will go for #3 and #7.

RATS! I had trouble logging into my email account due to a recent change in
the password and sent my definition in to you after the voting list was
published!

Anyway, I guess I will still vote. I must say that one on the list of the 19
looks a lot like what I submitted after the deadline. I thought I had been
co-opted!

I better start reading the email posting dates, too, and reset my cell
phone's email alert with the new password. By the time I figured out what
was wrong, I missed the deadline completely.

I was watching the lunchtime BBC TV news just now, and there was an
interview with a Mr JESSING, a Danish architect whose firm had just
won a competition for designing a new electricity pylon. I don't see
him in the list of defs!

[France International]

He didn't submit one either!
