I should have added to my previous email that I already mentioned that, but as Horace pointed out spammers subscribe to as many lists as possible. IOW, spammers are subscribed to this list and they receive unfiltered emails. Let me try and clarify it again. The email Horace sent that contained Dr. Mike's email address was delivered to potential spammers. The spammer's software would immediately see Dr. Mikes email address. Again, we don't know if Dr. Mike is subscribed to Vortex-l. Lets at least ask Dr. Mike for permission. Better yet people, just post Dr. Mikes web page URL that directly contains his up-to-date email address, which is exactly what I did, and was chastised for doing such, LOL.
That's proper online etiquette.
