Michael, that was a great set of emails you exchange with Shermer.  I too 
follow Shermer's rants pretty closely, as a matter of fact, I have 2 in my 
inbox I have to read.  Knowing how good a critical thinker he is, this must 
all be a combination of not really studying who we are, want of a little 
more publicity for himself and the cause (which is a good thing really, as 
we would also jump at this chance), and being right.

Just pointing out (like you did) that most of us are simply playing the 
odds ($50k for a 1 in a million shot at extending our lifespan vs. a ZERO % 
chance) goes a long way to showing we aren't faith based, at the most, we 
can be accused of betting on long shots, however the payout is MUCH bigger 
than the Preakness longshot winner.

Thanks for sharing us on these mails, I have faith (LOL) that Shermer is a 
good guy, and really we all have more in common with the guy than we have 
differences.
