I think that people will usually be interested _why_ you > voted for or against something Do you really think so? Yes, there are possibly LKML bots, that will read all messages in every thread. But i doubt they are humans. I also think, that kill-files and kill-names are common tools of the LKML readers. Thus, if someone sees my name with something like NAK in the subject, then nothing to worry about: next, please. I just amazed how inefficiently Subject, To, Cc headers are used. Everybody hurry through huge mail backlogs with subjects in thread all like one. Summary and keywords headers are not used, so why not to make greping/selecting interesting/useful messages more efficient (and not only for those who is in Cc list)? Every mail/news reader displays To and Subject, so latter is last hope of increasing of efficiency, even in small threads. > (given the number of vote-submitters does not go through the roof). > That clearly won't fit into the subject, Sorry, i cannot see, what you are trying to say here.
