>apologies to caradea, whose definition was inadvertently omitted.

in an Emergency Meeting of the Rules Committee (RC), convened in nudiustertian virtual time, it was determined that, inasmuch as this contingency is not covered by the Basic Rules of Hogwash®, nor is it implied under the concept of estoppel, it has been ruled by the aforementioned RC that caradea should consider herself well-compensated in that she did receive an actual and public apology from the hogmaster, who after all is only hoglike.

as an aside, the RC would like to remind all that, were normal scoring still in effect (and it's not), only the players (those who submitted def'ns) would score two(2) points for a correct guess, and unlookers would score just 1 -- this to encourage "playing" status, of course.
