My thanks to Neyir for raising this. I include e-mail addresses both
as text and mailto:'s. I originally did this at the request of one of
the people listed. Although it was never intended, my FAQ is used by
people in the Ambisonic community to look up each others addresses.

I never thought about the spam-bots. I will have to e-mail the people
listed and ask each what they would like done.

Martin
