That's a very valid point.  I thought we'd already covered this 
problem last time the Gmane issue came up, but obviously not.

I'll talk to JC offline and see if we can work up some suggested 
improvements to the wording of the respective templates and then we 
can see what Barry thinks.  Once we have a consensus, one of us will 
make the appropriate changes.
