Empty replies like a fake vote should just not occur in general. That's not
usually an issue on this list, but I see many others plagued by such
responses and hope we never end up on that path (especially people +1'ing a
+1...). Remember that not only do we need to keep emails to the
characteristics Brett mentioned for the sake of having a healthy
discussion list, we should strive to keep the noise as close to zero as
possible as mails sent to this list reach *a lot* of people.
