Indeed. I had already voted, and got an email, but I'm not going to do any
complaining. It's one email, for Pete's sake.

That said, I have seen some good suggestions in this thread, that might be
helpful for next year:

   - Consider excluding accounts that have already voted, or sending them a
   different email.
   - Consider excluding bot accounts
   - If possible, try to get these out a bit sooner. I know it's hard.

Either way, thanks are due to those who handled this. So, thank you.
