X-Message-Number: 16226 Date: Mon, 07 May 2001 08:35:12 -0700 From: Max More <> Subject: Returning to Cryonet Hello everyone! I haven't been on Cryonet in about five years (after having been on it since its inception, I believe) so I thought I should say hello rather than lurking in the shadows. It was a pleasure to see in my first digest Alan Sinclair's post, since it took me back to my pre-USA days. As Alan said, he founded Alcor-UK, and did so by building on the organization I started there in 1986-87 with Mike Price, Garret Smyth, and then John Styles. Back when we first started (at the urging of Mike Darwin who challenged me early in 1986 to be the fist to sign up in England and then to get an organization going), it was called Mizar (the companion star to Alcor). Actually one reason I rejoined Cryonet was because of bits and pieces of information I hear about changes going on with cryonics in the UK. Since I still feel like a father of the organization (though rather estranged after 15 years and 6,000 miles), I'd like to keep up to date on developments. So far Cryonet seems to be much more mellow than when I left in the midst of yet another flame war. Feels good! Onward!
