You could always throw in an <h1> tag and use Babelfish to say it in

Worry not, I get the full uncensored Developers mailing list.
Yes, we're listening, and I do pass on what I read here to the
departments with whom I work most: Product Management, Development and
the department to which I belong, Research and Innovation.
One of the questions in the developer survey I handed out a couple of
weeks back asked "Would you like it if the OpenSRS API were exposed as
a Web service? Would problems would it solve?". Once we've received the
results of the survey from a few more people, we'll have a better idea
-- and *countable* data, as opposed to merely anecdotal -- of what the
demand for it is. When I tally up the final numbers for the survey, I
will pass them along to you.
I will always keep an ear open for what our reseller developers want,
take notes, and pass it on to the rest of the organization here.
Whatever decisions get made are the result of a lot of factors: as well
as each reseller developer's input, there's also the matter of figuring
out which changes benefit the most people, what kind of impact changes
made will have on the rest of our systems, how long they'll take to
implement, our future implementation plans, and so on.
But rest assured, we are listening, and as far as our reseller
developers are concerned, I'm the Chief Listener.
