The clearly far-less-than-obvious, apparently, point of the original
post was that _wonky_ is *possibly* being *used* to mean something
*like* "shady" *in this instance* and *not* to claim that le tout
monde now agrees that _wonky_ *has* such a meaning and here is
evidence in support of that claim.
