As long as we're mentioning things which would be nice features for the
net, how about a method for voting yes or no on an article.  A yes/no vote
message would be sent out and the counts would be displayed along with the
article.  This would get rid of all those messages that say " I vote yes on
this".  This would also allow people to get a really good poll of the people
reading a message.  

The only real problems with this are the little implementation details and
also the overhead for all these follow ups may be greater than the savings
from eliminating the present yes/no votes.  If it could be done easily,
I think it would add another deapth to the net by allowing people to give
input with having to say anything, just agree or disagree.
