PONASK: Dead Heat at the Home Stretch

[Hutch]

Well, as of the (more-or-less) deadline for votes, we have 
a three-way tie for first place. However, this is with only 
five votes received.

Elliott, David, Linda, and Aussie: I haven't gotten votes 
from you yet, although you submitted fictionitions. Vote 
now! You could turn this into an eight-way tie!

All of you who lurk and never submit, get YOUR votes in.

At this rate, PONASK could turn into the next never-quite-
completed word. (What was the first one?)

Vote early! Vote often!

BB,
Hutch
