As some of you know, a number of us have started a "newVortex"
mailing list. This is a moderated list, but, routinely, new
subscribers, on showing that they aren't spammers by submitting a
coherent, on-topic post, will be taken off of moderation. The list,
as a yahoogroup, has other associated tools, such as a file space,
and currently any list member may post a file.
To read a post on the list, one does not have to subscribe, but to
access files, security requires that the person join the list. One
may join as a "no mail" member (or better, "Special Messages.")
The initial rules are the same as the Vortex rules, except that we
are less likely to ban anyone. Rather, if there are problems, a
member will be placed on moderation, until the problem clears up. We
could also shut the whole list down, easily, so that all members
(including us( are on moderation. If we do that, no messages will be
lost, but some might be rejected. (In which case, the submitting
member will get a rejection mail with a reason and a copy of the post.)
The initial moderators are:
Abd Lomax
Stephen V. Johnson
David Roberson
The list archive is public and googleable.

We even have a Mary Yugo post. I found it informative. I have not,
however, personally verified the facts alleged.

Be nice, folks!
