My apologies for the delay.  First, everyone else in the office was
sick, so things were hectic.  Then, of course, the bug made it to my
desk...

Anyhow...

The winning clue for Word 1 came from Jake Bergmann
(bergmann@billerica.applicon.slb.com):

	Pervert is to rule on will (10)

The winning clue for Word 2 came from Roger Phillips
(roger@quantime.co.uk):

	I happen to be placed well before the end of January! (8)

I chose the second clue as the best over all, and have asked Roger to
moderate CWC 29.

In addition, there was a special bonus section.  All of the following
clues have something which needs to be changed before the clue can be solved
(the same thing in each clue).

Explanation (rot13'ed):
	Rnpu pyhr pbagnvaf n fcbbarevfz (r.t., PNHTUG FJBEQ/FBHTUG PUBEQ
	be UVG N TANG/XAVG N UNG).

(Hmmm... just noticed that GNAT when rot13'ed is itself, reversed.)

Special clues for Word 1
------------------------

	Decision to ransack Ryan's loot (10)

	Remove two rules in Congressional decision (10)

	Lunch motion sure to be agreement (10)

Special clues for Word 2
------------------------

	First appearance on day that cur was married (8)

	January fix ceased backing up of hot water pipe somewhat (8)

Special clue for a different word
---------------------------------

	Dutchman's crew splitting tie (9)

I'll post the complete list of clues, with comments, later today or first
thing tomorrow.  Thanks again for being patient with this patient.
