I don't think this was covered in the rules either.  I say that if there are
disqualifications, we simply sack those entries and call winners from the
remaining pool.  It's taken what-- 3 weeks from the end of the contest
already.  I'm not interested in waiting another 3 weeks (or more!) before
calling it done.

We've already waited beyond what *I* think is reasonable.  But I understand
that some people may be out of town.  At this point, I don't really care- if
Todd wants to set an arbitrary deadline of a day or two or whatever, that's
fine by me.
