It is necessary to use snail mail or the telephone.

Yeah, great idea, in 2015, send a paper mail from Italy to Usa... :-(

Please, DA, update your anti-spam system, 'cause your false positive's filter is a nightmare :-P

Is it necessary a third email?

Gary-my experience has been that DA does respond to email if he cares to. I've had several email discussions with him. He prefers not to talk on the phone.

Dr. Anderson never received your emails. They were probably caught by the anti-spam filter. If it's the same filter that Eric Korpela uses, you have to email him first with just a small email, wait for the answer from the spam filter, then email again with the answer from the filter that's in that email. Only then will you be on the 'allowed list' and can you email in full.

Edit: David tells me he's using the Barracuda spam filter that the SSL uses. It catches 99.91% of the spam, and sometimes also non-spam.

I have forwarded Dr. Anderson what you wrote, if you want to you can PM me your email address, so I can forward that to him and he can answer you in person. He always answers people in person, as long as they make it through the filter.

Edit: he has emailed boboviz himself with answers to the mail as posted in this thread.

As for the policy used by Dr. Anderson to put projects on the list, it's about as I said earlier. Only after Dr. Anderson has had contact with the project administration and he's convinced that they're doing what they say they're doing, as well as practice security, and possibly other criteria, will he add that project to the lists.

When any of you users find a dead link, a changed link or other weird stuff going on that you think needs communicated, can you always email Dr. Anderson. As long as you make it through the spam filter, will he always make time to answer you in person.

Cruncher Pete has gotten an account on the User Wiki and is able to edit the list and any page in there at his heart's content.

I'm going back to being away until next Monday.
