Rick,
I hadn't seen this when I wrote my last email!
"Maybe the best way to handle this is for anyone that wishes to be told
about every article I write send me their email address. I will build an alias that will be used along with my selective notification. Please
send your address off list to rgsparber@aol.com."
Put me on your list!
Regards, Matthew

Stewart,
I do not want this discussion to cause dis-harmony in the group. I believe Wonk has a valid point.
Each time I write an article, I decide which groups to notify. In many cases the list does not include gingery_machines because I don't think it fits. I just need to be a bit more careful.
I often post to a lathe and mill group because they are focused more on types of machines rather than types of construction.
Maybe the best way to handle this is for anyone that wishes to be told about every article I write send me their email address. I will build an alias that will be used along with my selective notification. Please send your address off list to rgsparber@aol.com.
As for electric furnaces, you will find a few articles on my modified Hartman in the foundry section of my site. I like my electric furnace for the same reasons you are attracted to them. Just understand that efficient use requires you to plan the foundry day so you are busy doing other things while the furnace is heating up.
