-1.  I sorta think the current name has character. :-)

As for Usenet practice, I believe it was to send votes to a tellers
committee (or person).  At the end of the voting period, the teller
would publish the results, including lists of e-mail addresses of
those voting for and those voting against.  This allowed each voter to
verify that he/she was on the correct list, while saving Usenet (and
modem) bandwidth.  (I miss my 9600 baud compressing Trailblazer
modem.)
