A bewilderment of councils

I have just received an e-mail from a colleague asking if there is a collective noun describing recipients of our recent information e-mail addressed to 00localauthorities
Now, 00localauthorities as you have probably guessed is just a single file with all the individual e-mail addresses in it.
After some thought, I think the answer must be that if I was to coin a collective noun, I'd probably go for a bewilderment although the Metropolitans probably fall into a subcategory, an ingratitude...
I am awaiting his response...

All in 4 hours...
