[Fictionary] Re: dule definitions

[Hutch]

Well, we have a close race so far, but I've only got six votes. Let's
run it out through the weekend. Please vote by Monday evening.

I have votes from Ranjit, Linda, David, Judith, Eric, and Pierre.
(Fairly unusual to have more fictionitions than votes.)

BB,
Hutch
