You know, offered the definition "a category of angel" I might have voted differently.

describing fallen angels who mated with human women, producing giants
(Nephilim), and taught forbidden knowledge, leading to corruption before
judgment. While Genesis 6:1-4 mentions the "sons of God" and Nephilim, the
specific Grigori lore comes from apocryphal Jewish texts that explain these
angelic figures in detail.

Hi Debbie,
 
I think you forgot to include Dan's votes in the scores. The overview
below lists him as voting for 1 and 4 (which matches what I see in the
mails), but his name is not in the Others Voted for Player columns, and
hence his votes do not count.
 
Since I am one of the two recipients of his votes, and since it is very
rare for me to score more than 1 point, I would really like this point!
 
Cheers,
Hugo

I hope I didn't omit anyone else.

You show me as having got two votes for my def, as well as voting for the
correct def, so I think my total should be 4*, rather than the 3* shown.

Two other votes went a bit awry. The column Others voted for player shows Mike and Hugo voting for #2, giving 3 points to Dan. 
 
But Hugo voted for #1 and #14 (and not #2), as correctly shown against his name in the column Player voted on. And Mike voted for #5 and #14 (and not #2), as correctly shown against his name.
 
Making those fixes, I get

Don't worry about me -- much of my problem is age-related memory failures
and adding what I think are unnecessary (FOR ME) means in one sense a
wasting of resources which are in short supply.
The other part of my problem is (as many of you know) long term ME/CFIDS
(now 40+years) which sometimes breaks out into extended flare-ups. The
current one is characterized by recurrent sore throats and severe sinus
headaches. Four weeks so far and I will doubtless get over it but at the
moment concentration on anything other than living is a luxury (this note
is written in three sessions which I am terminating now.
 
Please don't worry about me but understand my shortcomings (and short
temper!)
