Hi, While I agree that all those seconding emails might flood some inboxes (though most of modern mails have system to redirect and filter messages), it was a real pleasure to see all the reaction from the community: people I've never heard about, people I've never read a message from (ok i'm not that long subscribed to the list) but from a simple member of the community, it's just a: "WOUAW!!!! What a big and passionate community!" And I'm afraid that putting seconding messages elsewhere will just hide this passion from the community, which imho deserves us: I'm interested in knowing nominees profile (information sometimes brought by seconding messages), but I'm not sure i will do the needed step to check a wiki or a list elsewhere; having it in my box is just easier and convenient.
