Subject: CRYONICS Apologies for Not using File 14

To:     INTERNET:

    I want, right off, to apologize for posting Mike Darwin's messages 
1688 and 1689 to the full NET instead of CRYONICS.POLITICS.  In our
joint operation here in Colton, I handle the EMAIL interface and we
had a miscommunication concerning the disposition of those messages.

    Both Mike Darwin and I strongly endorse Kevin's request to keep
the main stream of CRYONET free of issues which are not related to the
scientific, technical, medical, promotional, legal, educational,
financial, organizational, or administrative aspects of cryonics. 
Those are as opposed to: issues relating to the performance,
characteristics and personal history of individuals involved in
cryonics.  Postings to the full NET should thus be able to be kept
more objective and free of vituperative innuendo.  Of course, it also
goes without saying that any issue should be addressed only in a
thoroughly objective, rational manner, but emotions and intense
concern often get in the way when dealing with the perceived stupidity
or hostilty others.  In addition, there are the effective techniques
of witty, sarcastic and "tongue in cheek" replies, which have a
legitimate place when dealing with the latter issues, but no place
when dealing with the former.

    Both Mike and I hope that we will not need to make additional
postings to File 14.  Any such distraction from our research slows our
progress towards discoveries and developments potentialy critical to
your and our survival.

    Again, I join with Mike in urging all CRYONET protagonists to use
File 14.
