To what end?  I can only see negative repercussions.  People taking sides, 
forming cliches, getting angry at others for not voting their way.  The 
winners win -- the losers fight, nit pick and spread hate & discontent.  I 
personally don't think it matters who voted how.  I think we can guess, based 
on the past threads, how quite a few people may have voted, but does it 
really matter?  And, if we chose to just report the results without including 
the individuals' votes, then we could get into the battle of, "well it was 
very close, so we should vote again to be sure", or "leave out all but the 
top two and re-vote to be sure".
