As Donald stated, a poll would work, and has the advantage of recording the results in the group for posterity. But each subscriber has to log in to respond, which seems to be a significant hurdle for some folks to overcome. Many will reply to the poll notification by email anyway, subverting your efforts to eliminate the clutter.
If recording the results is not an important consideration, the "reply only to sender" option in a hashtag will achieve your stated objective.?You might even combine the two (i.e.: include such a hashtag in the poll subject).

Hope this helps,

Thanks, Bruce. Yes, this crowd is primarily email only, so a poll is not going to work so well. The onus of recording is on whoever sent the original email, also.
Editing the hashtag to reply-to-sender seems like the best plan, though I wish there was an automated way to detect this, so that if someone sends an email at one in the morning, someone doesn't have to be up to catch it before the responses happen.
Best,
Glenn
