(just for the record: I also asked this offlist to Ziko, and did not coordinate this with others)
I of course agree with Maarten (and while direct, his tone is imho not inappropriate). A summary would be fine too, although I suspect that just copypasting is actually less work than typing a summary. My main reason for asking to put it in the email, is that I quite often save this kind of reports until a time that I'm a train etc. Then there is no way I can go to meta. It is a little effort (if any), and you make it easier for a number of people. By the way, I must say I like the short style and consistent pace of the Dutch reports - a compliment should be made where appropriate!
