Thank you hogmaster!

Now that the game is over I will vent.

Yes, my offering, a) was flawed. I do think that "Post and Beam", is correct however.

I don't buy the capitalization of "Post and Beam" so (A) is out.
Maybe not - I made the definition up.

Yes, it is obvious to me now that I it was a mistake to mix tenses. That's what I get for rushing. Oh well.

A) Definition in plural for an entry in singular. I don't think so

Over the years I have found that all the regulars here are more intelligent, well read and well versed in all things wordly than I. I celebrate the opportunity for learning and enjoyment that this affords me. However, (he said, with no malicious intent and realizing that it's only one owl's opinion), I do think that the public airing of ones thought process in eliminating or choosing the correct definition, before all the votes are in, might tend to prejudice someone who has not yet voted. i.e. I have a better chance of losing if all the smart people critique the entries. It is all about the points after all.
