Hmm. Perhaps the bell curve of cryonicists? I'll confess that the one cryonics 
gathering I've

attended did change my view of who we are. Not for the worse, but I was struck 
by how eccentric
everyone is - it made me feel quite sensible. Not a feeling I'm used to.


Cryonicists in person remind me most of the Addamses. I think that's a good 
thing. Addamses

aren't pretty, well behaved, level headed, or reasonable people. But they're 
gentle, enthusiastic,
compassionate and manic.


I'm not certain I entirely fit in. Still I'd rather be Addams than not. Wouldn't
you?

Peter Merel.
