X-Message-Number: 24590 Date: Sat, 4 Sep 2004 10:38:44 -0400 From: Thomas Donaldson <> Subject: Comments for Skrecky & Potvin For Doug Skrecky: I have already discussed the problems with inferring lifespan-extending therapies from their effects on fruit flies. However I don't quite understand how your reference in NATURE explains why your own experiments with resveratrol didn't show any lifespan increse. Were you restricting the diets of these fruit flies at the same time as you gave them resveratrol? For Rick Potvin: What inhibits you from simply telling the latest news on Ted Williams rather than telling us to go somewhere else to read it? If you want to advertise your net site, it would look better if you at least told part of the story and said that the rest could be found there. I've read some negative messages about Cryotalk, which inhibits me from bothering to access your web site because I would wonder just how new your news about Ted Williams was. Being a bit more explicit about what you offered would help a lot. After all, on MY website I tell of experiments which explain how we can soon achieve physical immortality :-). So everyone should make sure to log on :-). Best wishes and long long life for all, Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=24590
