In order to deactivate receiving emails from specific users who post...  
 
Alembic would have to provide members rights of their entire dynamic membership database roster (new and current members).
 
The solution seems sensible, but highly impracticable. However, if this solution becomes a project, it don't take a rocket scientist to know, the cost for such project will funnel to a price increase of their products.
 
It's cheaper for us to use the delete key on our email application.
 
Lastly, the user who creates a thread in any one of the categories, has absolutely no idea what other members check for their preferences. Therefore, if anyone receives an email on a topic(s) they selected and rants and rave as if the poster has any say in the matter, a worthless cry. People who add content, has no knowledge as to who automatically received an automated email.
 
The best solution is to look for trends where people you like/dislike hang out. If the chances are great, you would get an updated email, check or deselect the topic. This is what I do.
 
I only select reply on topics, and all the other topics are unchecked.
 
Works great.

I dislike the idea of filtering folks out.  It is easy enough to not reply to someone when you don't like what they have to say. Public arguments seldom reflect well on any of the participants.

Thank you David.  
 
I use Thunder Bird email. I will test the methods suggested.
 
I'll stay updated from folks who give positive vibes, and those I learn from the most.

As a results of my testing in screening names from entering my email account automatically and seamlessly was performed successfully with Thunderbird 2.0xxx
 
Works like a charm!
 
But, with (1) T-Bytes of storage on my system, I have loads of space for simple emails and those beautiful pictures of amazing Alembic basses!

Hal, You really are an imaginative, creative soul.  I really hope to meet you, someday, and see your completed instruments, and hopefully play them!
 
Peace;)

I am hoping to hookup soon with you and others at Alembic gatherings.
 
I will be taking notes on the reactions of people as they take the Toma_Hawk for a spin.

The upper horn needed some attention...

The lower bout (with all the controls) looks too heavy in comparison with the rest of the body to me.

I disagree Jack.
 
Here's a comparison of a Famous Exploiter bass with my Jester.
 
From first glance, the Exploiter looks Top-heavy (the pointed area, at the top end -- of the body...)  but from judging it's popularity its a very comfortable bass even for me.
 
So when it comes to the Jester, from the stand point of balance, the Jester looks very balance from the start.
 
But let's be frank about it, eyes are deceiving...  
 
However for me personally, even if the Jester bass was bottom heavy, I would call that a win.
 
I love the Chin (where the controls are...) of the Jester bass.

I'd visualize a diamond pattern on the fretless neck, similar to this....  
 
I couldn't imagine this bass not having the diamonds. This is a must have. This is just a drawing... In real life, this bass would upstage anything on stage.
 
I see this bass in my heart!!!
