Aha, excellent point, Warren!  Now all we have to do is make sure that
all the responses to an article arrive with the article...

Seriously, how do you get around the variable latency in news item delivery?
Respondents A and B may be an equal "net distance" from the original article
(thus see it the same day), but may be arbitrarily far from one another.
The best one can do is to see if you've seen all the locally received
responses, but failing a notes-like interface and a willingness to use
it broadly, there's no mechanical way to even match up items and responses.
