     Despite the common discouraging of such "bandwith fillers," this 
note is basically a Me Too message intended to pat Steve Jackson on the 
back for saying some of the things that I would've said myself, had I not 
been so reluctant to find myself sucked into the fray, as indeed Steve now 
has been.  (Or not, depending on whether or not he responds to "Clarissa 
Wells" attack on him.)  I also believe "Clarissa" is a ringer, and feel no 
fear or remorse in saying so.  If I'm wrong, she can feel proud that her 
postings were sufficiently astute that I doubted their naivety.  If I'm 
right, well, I'm right, and I'm certainly not going to feel bad about 
THAT.  

     I even believe that I can guess the identity of "Clarissa," though 
I'll refrain from naming HIM here, because if it is not he, he doesn't 
deserve the stigma of my planting that in the minds of all the 
Cryonetters.  Anyway, as Editor of Cryonics for almost two-and-a-half 
years, I've developed something of an eye for style, even when that style 
is intentionally muddied.

     Anyway, as I'm wont to say in such situations of temporary 
disclarity, "It'll all come out in the wash." 

Relentlessly,

Ralph
