Subject: CRYONICS: Response to Tanya

To Tanya:

Thank you very much for your detailed response to Mike Darwin's concerns. I 
too, received semi hysterical phone calls regarding the "incident" from people
who had seen the article or heard about it second or third hand. I suggested 
that before they went any further with their hand wringing that they make some
calls to try to ascertain the facts of the situation. 

I do believe that Hugh should have performed the tests immediately and prior 
to the article going out (not only would it have improved the quality and 
content of the journalism, but it could have prevented the mild wave of 
hysteria that washed over everyone).

And I further wish the people who are so quick to be persuaded, or influenced,
or who are looking for things to worry and complain about would try to be a 
little more objective. We live in a world of infinite possibilities and to 
operate on the assumption that there is only one answer and to further bury 
our heads in the sand by accepting it blindly as a truth,  is asking to be led
around in a fog by whomever talks the loudest. We are in a vacuum where the 
biggest mouth prevails, and I for one am not in a yelling mood.

Thank you Tanya, for all your efforts and hard work.
