   As the person who originally started carping
about this, I can only say, *right on*!

   How about the OED being exempted from 
competition, since it *does* server as kind of
an assistant referee?

EZ

P.S.:  1-point vote:  excellent question.  In
the "guesses correctly", I would guess that it
can only withhold it -- which would be, I would
imagine, unsportsmanlike for any of the rest
of us to do.
