Subject: Re: Thomas D and for others. Where are You? Legal matters. Recruiting.

You forgot where I am ?!? I am one of the few who in each posting use to put
out my location for many reasons. It has been recruiting some new ones to us
here when they saw I am here. I dislike shady postings with unreal names.
Some may have a reason to hide the identity but not so many, thats an
Internet-sickness much worse in newsgroups etc. than here as we know.

This is not meant as a personal remark but I like to do my homework and dont
feel an urge to remark fast on everything, but I think everyone should state
where they are for interested newcomers here who may like to see a
Cryonicist is nearby. This is most important for us outside US, ie you
Thomas D in Canberra Australia as I assume is no secret where you are.
I have this form automatic in every mail and reduce a few manually, with my
IE4.01SP (an IE5 is just released, bugs?) all freeware, my IE4 works perfect
without Active desktop, guess most can do that with automatic forms as
below; Forms? I only have it in Swedish.
It also makes Internet more fascinating to see its so widespread, so I often
have to ask where some are. Now I can only often figure out by name where it
may be from. In my adress its also an .se as is for Sweden as you have .au,
a sourcelist can be found in the URL for Neotrace. But many use
non-national-adresses now.

For the legal matters you are right today for a simple case, our laws are
often aimed to work together, but no Cryo.-org. can make a signupform that
is watertight worldwide, its mainly made for US I guess but may work here as
well, otherwise we can adjust it. But I do not intend to die now and
probably will not according to my doctors. The laws may change in the
decades we have left on earth. We can make it almost watertight today and
get a hint if there will be a dispute, but a problem is folks do get greedy
when someone has died. In the fineprint a lawyer may try to crack it.
As I wrote before we do have one thick Lawbook here as I have some copies
of, the same as the lawyers and the courts use with referals to
supreme-courts-rulings, so I have learned a lot quite easy when my father
died etc. case by case, am allowed to call myself a lawyer and learned more
from examined lawyers free, among one is a private friend. Its at least
almost the same in Norway, US UK and Australia no Lawbook. If you
remember I've asked around since I like places where its easy for folks to
check the law without paying a lot.

I dont know if you have the time to read all postings but I just recently
wrote how to avoid most of the disputeproblems, as I cant trust just a
singupform, I will have a lifeinsurance, a trustfund as alreday is in
action, and a Will with something for those who inherit me by law, with a
threat they will not get anything extra if they mess against Cryonics. It
better be written like that anyway if we get demented or like Tim Leary did.

Forgive me my friend if I'm a bit sour today after to little sleep, to much
walking and a headache, but what do you do for recruitment? And the rest of
you who hasnt declared as I have?

I have seen many closed related postings from Cryonicists in other places
where they make no PR for us with a word. Shyness? Afraid to get diminished?

CryoNet-addiction do take a lot of time at least for me. Perhaps some of it
can be used better.

By the way, I've found some Swedish immigrants in Tucson and the Phoenixarea
and Sunnyvale Ca I will target Cryonics on for a test since they are where I
could be.

Highschoolstudents are eager to learn but mostly not likely to need us for a
long time for paybacks in effort.

Enough for tonight,

Thomas Nord
Stockholm (Sweden) where the snow and ice melted away, but its now snowing
again. White nice light but a bit cold and will melt away soon again this
week.

Anyone can die suddenly but may get back with Cryonics, read:
