Well informed, am I?  I guess that could be considered confirmation that my 
information regarding the Board deliberations is fairly correct.

I might also mention that wealth does not necessarily enable good decisions 
about who should be a manager, any more than a high level of technical 
expertise or intellect necessarily makes a good manager.  In each of those 
scenarios, just the opposite frequently occurs.

Now, where in the cryonics archives have we seen similar instances of 
Charles Platt jumping to the defense of Saul Kent or seeming suspiciously 
to be acting as his mouthpiece?
