X-Message-Number: 16666 Date: Sun, 24 Jun 2001 14:57:51 -0400 From: <> Subject: Re: CryoNet #16641 - #16660 References: <> Hi Louis, To recap our exchange, which you quoted in full in 16656: (LE) As I've indicated...it doesn't seem clear to me that cryonics offers (LE) the most immortalist bang-per-buck. (dh) Cryonics is a lot cheaper than you think---i'll bet Rudi (dh) Hoffman could write you a policy for $1000/year, and CI membership (dh) is only a one-time $1250 (they even have a low yearly-rate (dh) membership, i think). (LE) That is not their suspension fee... the $28,000 needs to come (LE) from somewhere. What good does one get from being a non-paid member? The suspension fee comes from the proceeds of the insurance that Rudi Hoffman () could write for about $1000 per year. If that's not clear, please let me know and i'll explain again. (This is not sarcasm.) And i think there's a lesson here for both you and me. For me, the lesson is that sometimes i think something is very clear, but maybe it's not. I thought the details of the financing were very clear from my first writing, but maybe not. Likewise i thought that what the Mikes and Kennita and others wrote recently was powerful, moving, and above all, clear, but maybe not. Unfortunately, i can't put their arguments any better, or i would. For you, i think there's also a lesson. (And there's probably yet another lesson for Mike of Kyros about dealing with potential clients, but i have a feeling he's already gone through that one a few times.) dan Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=16666
