One of the following is the real definition of "snottygobble". The rest
are a bunch of nonsense sent in by you people (and I'm hoping I didn't
misplace any or lose any to the spam filters.) Send me a double vote
for your most likely suspect, and a single vote for your dark horse
candidate. Etc. Votes and comments due by late on Monday, 5 Feb 2007.
