Robert, Please forgive me for responding to Cude and perhaps allowing his non sense to escape the filter. I will restrict that situation from this point forth. I feel badly for how I have contributed to this mess, but he was directly attacking me and I hated to just stand by and let his inputs escape rebuttal.
My responses to Cude are hereby reduced to near zero since he offers little to the discussions.

Now that I am subscribed to the list, I have the ability to filter people such as Cude directly. However, there is no reasonable means of filtering the large volume of useless responses to his postings. So, as when I read the vortex web archives only, I am left to scan for names I recognize that I suspect may have something to contribute through the noise. This is tedious and fundamentally error-prone. The result is that I typically delete en masse the majority of related discussions. I don't Because I quickly elected to simply ignore pseudo-skeptics such as Cude, I cannot make specific claims as to the contents of his posts, only that I do not care to read them. However, I can claim that his posts are in fact quite disruptive to the flow of discussion and hence to the purpose of this list. If I were moderating this list, I would not tolerate it. -Robert
