Vortex is a great list.. but I think it has outgrown the email list format.
I propose moving the list to a modern web forum based product. Modern
forums allow embedded HTML/multimedia, moderation,

The mailing list format is fine. I'm completely opposed to web-based
forums for discussing
sensitive topics.
With an e-mail based discussion list, each participant keeps a copy of

A web-based forum can be taken down very easily.
Web-based forums are subject to hacking and

set up as a no-holds bar forum where anything goes. Long ago I stopped
subscribing to b
Also, mobile accessibility of web-based forums is poor. Like all
complex web applications, they won't work uniformly well accross
different browsers, esp. embedded ones.
And e-mail has mechanisms for authentication. You can sign your
messages with your private key using GPG, the signature will
I suggest that a blog be created by whomever wants to, to discuss
things related to Rossi.
Personally, I like email format, and the fact vortex-l has over 15

Your 'b' must be different from the one I subscribe to.
No, it's the same one.
I haven't seen a post there in months, aside from the

Yes, and why do you suppose that is so?

First, let me say we should all keep in mind at year end contributing
the suggested $10 donation for vortex-l operation.
The main purpose of this post is to bring up the issue of possibly

vortex-B.
The technical content of
Horace we are discussing a technology and a device which may totally
alter the future pathway of the human race, how this technology has been
suppressed and is still being attempted to be suppressed on this forum
