This is not a complaint, and please don't take offence, but:  Did anyone
else think immediately of Brad Templeton's classic "Dear Emily Postnews"

Q: I collected replies to an article I wrote, and now it's time to

replies without annoying newsreaders getting in the way. Do the same
when summarizing a vote.
