Dear Janet, et. al. --

hi!  i am glad to be able to tell you all that this vote has already been
concluded and it was defeated by the largest margin in usenet history (or
something like that).  so there's no need to vote -- or to pass along the
request to other parties.  but thanks for the vigilance, which is always
appreciated.
