PM,
Thanks for spreading the word around. By "substr" are you meaning
"subst", i.e. where you create a template with the text you want,
then put {{subst:TemplateName}} on each user's talk page rather than
the message itself? If so, then unless you use a bot it's unlikely to
be faster than pasting the whole message in each time. Or are you
referring to some other process?

and indeed, someone doing it by hand did!
As I mentioned on the meta page, I've dropped notes in to all
guarantor members, but will hold on the supporting members for a
bit to see if the substr approach might be better (to be honest, I
don't really fully understand how that would work! :-) )
I also asked for a confirmation email that my vote was received
properly, and received it promptly, which was great - so for me at
least, the system worked great :-)
best to all,
Peter

Please feel free to amend.
I suggest we go and subst it onto the userpage of everyone who's

will only take a few minutes even without AWB.
Looks good. Actually, not using AWB is probably better - a lot of
people have a link on their meta talk page to a talk page on their
home project, AWB won't be able to follow those links, someone doing
it by hand could.
