I don't know if Guenter Wildgruber is *his* real
name, but Mark_-ZeroPoint most certainly is not a
real name. But I'll happily apologize if it is.
Mark, here, speculates on something, along with
SVJ, about Guenter's mail, that makes some crazy assumptions.
If you hit a reply to an actual "vortex-l" post,
what happens to the reply depends on, not only
the list settings, but also your own email
program's settings. It has little or nothing to
do with the original email. If the mail is echoed
through the list, it will have a Reply-to header supplied by the list.
If you look at the headers from his mails, they
look quite like headers from other mails.
However, how do we know that a mail is from the
vortex list? If you only rely upon the [Vo] in
the header, you could be easily misled.
Some people do send mails to both the list and
the individual. That could easily be done by the
user who originates the mail. A mail that was
cc'd to the individual, as well as sent to to the
list, if the individual replies to it, will behave exactly as described.
I don't see a cc in Guenter's mails to the list,
but he might be bcc'ing the private emails of
some. That would produce the same effect for
those people. Again, people might do this to
suppress further cc's being sent, but to notify
an individual that a mail has been sent to the list.
Embarrassing, messages like this, assuming a
"nefarious reason" for something quite ordinary, don't you think?
None of this has any bearing on the cogency of
the alleged "Rossi conspiracy." As with most
Matters Rossi, we don't have enough information
to do more than flap the meaning-making machine,
which can churn out endless speculations. I think
Guenter was just having fun. He seems to have
some level of grasp of the situation, more than can be said for many others.

While Im at it, I think Gunter might turn out
to be an agent too - with his own personal

fact that whenever I hit the reply button from
one of Gunters vortex-l posts my replies are
automatically sent to Gunters personal email
address, not Vortex. I have come to the
disquieting conclusion that this is a deliberate
act of sabotage on Gunters part, perhaps to
siphon off information from entering the general
public domain. You certainly have to admit the
fact that inserting ones personal email address
in lieu of vortex-l may be due to a highly suspicious agenda! ;-)
I think youre onto something, Steven!
In another rambling post, Guenter goes on about
how adept he is with technology and wondering
whether he should teach his non-techy friends
how to use an iPad, but yet, he cant even
configure his email client to ReplyTo: the
proper vortex-l address
there would only seem
to be two possibilities
1. His computer skills
are what he implies, quite adept, and thus
should know how to properly configure his email
client, but doesnt for some nefarious reason;
or 2. He isnt what he says he is, in which
case, it might excuse his inability to properly
configure his email client, but then he is
misleading readers about his tech-skills/knowledge.
I think the first is the more likely one
