Looks like my "winners" posting didnt quite make it
out to netland.

The winner for CWC 8 is: Fletcher Gross (gross@math.utah.edu)

Outraged but Roman did swallow German wine.  (7)

That clue was for the second word in CWC 8. I judged entries for
each clue independently after stripping all the names of the submittors.
After I picked the winning clues, I found that both of them were
submitted by Fletcher Gross. Oh well. In the tradition of the CWC
I invite Fletcher to offer the words for CWC 9 and to judge it.

Here is the other winning clue:

Is foreigner a good man to patrol the forest?  (8)

Thanks for all the entries. It was fun judging the contest.
It is not easy trying to quantify or prioritize your gut
instincts about clues.
