Yep, this is it exactly. I stopped cogitating after:
>>>Here's the list of people who have voted, and which votes they have
and supplied "cast" myself. Psychologically, this is a bad place for

And they are email-ack'ed. This is why I made the assumption I did -- that
it was a tally, not a "group ack", since the votes had already been ack'ed.
