Rd 3662: Results for AIRE

[nancygoat]

Please forgive me for the extra long delay posting results. As Charles Dickens has Bob Cratchitt say in A Christmas Carol, "we were making rather merry" this 4th of July weekend. (At least he says that in the Alastair Sim 1951 version, which is by far the most superior.)

At any rate, Debbie Embler is our next dealer with her sense of something about to happen. (The deal is about to happen, that's what.) Tying for coveted second place are Shani Naylor (natural) and Tim Lodge (unnatural) with threes.

The real definition is #5, an altar. OED says it can also be spelled aare and is obsolete. For which I earn a D2. Very late vote for the real definition was not counted. Sorry, Tony.

Please forgive the formatting.

You summary is very hard to read, lacking def numbers after 1, and split across several lines. I'm pretty sure I got 2 votes (Boxer & Widdis). Any other mistakes, please let me know.

As you say, the results report omits the votes from Dan Widdis (in favour of 6 & 11), 4 July 05h22 UTC. That puts  #11 (Mike Shefler) up to 2, and also #6 (Tim Lodge) up to 4*. Otherwise it seems to match my inbox.
