Kennita I have known you for many years and I think you a fine and wonderful person and I consider you a good friend but I most strongly disagree with you. I think the above quote encapsulates the area of our disagreement. The are several contexts involved here (for simplicity sake): 1. Everything related to cryonics that anyone can think of 2. Things related to Alcor 3. Things related to Frozen Dead Guy Days It can be argued that 2 and 3 might be subsets of 1 but that is not the point. The point is that we must not mix 2 and 3 together. The minute that Alcor shows up at Frozen Dead Guy Days you have mixed the context and Alcor will even further lose control of its PR image. The more that Alcor is associated with goofy things like Frozen Dead Guy Days the harder it will be for Alcor to be accepted by the scientific and medical communities. Message control and message presentation are critical. Fred Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=23690
