You do not go far enough!
We could further save bandwidth by taking everyone's generated opinions and
converting them into a handy string of numbers that represent their
feelings on issues. (all done using the magic of IT, of course).
With the magic of IT, we could further save bandwidth by "compressing"
these strings of numbers to a smaller string of numbers. Then with
cross-reference tables, to simple strings of letters.
We can then aggregate all the opinions of everyone on LUGNET who has
bothered to have an opinion into a single message post containing the
usernames and their compressed opinion string. This message can be - of
course - further compressed using the magic of IT. Then rolled up and
compared to a pre-generated cross reference chart to determine the final value.
Then with the magic of IT, the final net result would be a simple short
message that can be sent to Jake and *@lego.com and anyone who did not opt
to not receive the message.
Sample final messages:
"You good, we happy"
"You bad, we not happy"
