[Dixonary] Rnd 3003 - GARBOIL Results

First I have to confess a dealer induced glitch. Tim Lodge's def was omitted from the list. This was due to the dealer negligently failing to check his junk mail folder which is where Tim's definition message ended up. Therefore 2 dealer points are awarded.

There was also some Cory induced strangeness in the voting. For some strange reason, the voting messages of Lodge, Shefler, Naylor, Widdis, JohnnyB, Cunningham, and Shepherdson were read by Cory as coming from dixonary (AT) googlegroups (DOT) com...oups (DOT) com>. I can only surmise that something involving the new group forwarding confused Cory's parsing of the 'from' field in the messages. I believe that I was able to assign the votes to the proper players. So please call any oddities you notice to my or Mike Shefler's attention so that they can be corrected. So on with the show .....

In round 3003, 2 players earned top spot with 4 points: they were Tony Abell and Judy Madnick. Judy Madnick's definition "In an excited or tumultuous state." earned its author the deal, and Tony Abell can heave a sigh of relief that "A red onion." did not earn one more vote.

There were 4 players in runner-up position with 3 points each: Dave Cunningham, John Barrs, Mike Shefler and Daniel Widdis.

The true definition was 3: "_Archaic_ Confusion; uproar." (AHD 5th), which 5 perceptive players guessed.
