Having said that, after read Joe's comments, I checked out the CI site, and 
he's right, in retrospect, Ettinger's comments seem a tad hypocritical... 
While Alcor is mentioned only a few times by name, there are direct 
"attacks" made against the financials of an unnamed company that charges 
the same fees as Alcor.  Also compared are a Toyota and a Rolls.  And then, 
a crazy allusion to Consumer Reports...

I agree with both, it's one thing to believe you represent the best org, 
quite another to attack directly (even while unnamed).

And for the record, I do NOT like consumer reports (like I give a crap 
about a comparison of 2 cheap cars or toasters I would never buy), and will 
always prefer the rolls over the toyota.  So if you are marketing to me 
(admittedly I AM an Alcor member) you missed the boat, but hey everyone is 
different, and CU sells tons of mags...

Can't we just all get along?
