X-Message-Number: 16210 Date: Sun, 6 May 2001 00:38:34 -0400 (EDT) From: Charles Platt <> Subject: Alan Sinclair I wish to explain one detail to readers of CryoNet who are not personally familiar with Alan Sinclair, whose post to CryoNet should be in the same mailblast as this. I hope Alan will forgive me for this personal observation. The meaning of Alan's messages is always clear, but sometimes individual sentences may read a little oddly, because he can be dyslexic. One consequence is that he may use a word incorrectly because it sounds the same as another word. He may refer, for instance, to a "web sight" instead of "web site." I regard this as the literary equivalent of slight color blindness. It is only noticeable when the person is forced to communicate via written text. It would be a very grave error to assume from this that Alan is careless or poorly educated. I spent an evening in his company, during a visit to England, and he's one of the smartest people I have ever met. As you can infer from his message here, he was also crucial in establishing British cryonics capability. I have extremely high regard for Alan. Dyslexia was misinterpreted for decades. Unfortunately, some people still misinterpret it. Hence this brief message. --CP Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=16210
