Matt, you have this wrong. The list was created by all of us so those of us interested in IDCC could send reports or other items of interest to each other without having to post them publicly. It was a group effort but the only way to compile the list was at a central address. Jim volunteered to do this. Now anyone on the list can send information to all. Haven't you ever been on an e-mail list?
Because I know that some people find my ideas controversial, I have taken the extra step of allowing others to opt out of e-mails from me. So far only two have unsubscribed. To me that tells me that the vast majority of the people on the list are glad to receive e-mails I have that may be of interest to the group. I am not disclosing the e-mail address list to anyone or mailing to people who do not wish to receive e-mail from me. Any e-mails I send are automatically scanned with virus software before being sent. That is more than I can say about e-mails I received from others on the list. One list member already sent me an unmarked virus, fortunately I caught it before it infected my computer and wrecked havoc. That was a malicious act.
In short, I find your criticism misplaced. You are attacking me simply because I disagree with the raging IDCC bulls. This is a list that we created specifically for the purpose of sharing things IDCC. No one is receiving e-mail from me that doesn't want to. If they decide in the future they don't want it they can simply reply with "unsubscribe" in the subject and they will be removed. I am being completely upfront and honest about this but, for all you know, other list members have taken those same addresses and marketed them to a third party or started to sign up people to services they don't want. And I know a virus was already sent to me (before my introductory e-mail went out). Why don't you go attack the people who are actually causing problems instead of those who are going out of their way to play nice and not cause grief for anyone?
