X-Message-Number: 16358 Date: Sun, 27 May 2001 10:08:08 -0400 From: Thomas Donaldson <> Subject: CryoNet #16346 - #16354 Hi everyone! I note that Ben Best has joined ... CI! This is actually important. First, I agree completely with his point that we should not waste our time making negative comments. I too can find myself doing so, but would agree completely with Ben Best. And since I respect Ben Best a lot, I am even more of the belief that CI may surpass Alcor. Perhaps not in a month, but over a relatively short time if measured in years. In my own case, I do feel I owe Alcor something because it paid for a lawsuit to allow me to be frozen prior to "death", now some years ago. I did not oblige by "dying", but I do feel some debt, and now cannot repay it in money. But I also feel that no debt obliges me to stick with a group which may ultimately kill me, either. We'll have to see how matters develop here. I suspect that CI will become much more important and capable. Just what happens to Alcor remains unknown... though its current Board would probably need some replacements. Best wishes and long long life to all, Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=16358
