I hear that there are more than the usual quota from past years.

Of course, clerks don't do the whole thing but they do manage a lot. Their indirect influence has to be strong as well.

It would not be "by mistake".

We shall see. But as we inch up to the day of announcement, we can at least bate our breaths a little bit.
