Votex is simply a reflection of the members who inhabit it and the things
important to them that drive their individual intellect. CF has always been a
common denominator, but never the sole topic or focus.... nor should it be.
Innovation is the successful combination of seemingly unrelated / impossible
things. As trivial as some topics seem, they all contain something of worth.
'Vortex-B' never became popular because of that. The prefixes '[Vo]' and 'OT'
were hotly debated when proposed and eventually added to allow basic filtering
of the Vortex-L stream. The tools are there if you wish to use them. If you
choose not to, I don't think the rest of the membership should have to
acquiesce. Speaking from experience... take a break every couple of years and
unsubscribe for a while. Helps keeps things in perspective.

The archives make it clear that there's been a fairly random assortment of
postings going back to 1995. Some of the people in this thread have been on
this list since 1995. We should defer to their preferences here. In addition,
we should not be afraid of having our beliefs respectfully challenged; we
should actively seek this out.
