X-Message-Number: 27103 Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2005 09:36:34 -0400 (EDT) From: Charles Platt <> Subject: Alternative discussion forum To my surprise, the "Cold Filter" discussion forum at http://www.network54.com/Forum/291677 is generating a lot of serious and thoughtful on-topic dialogues about cryonics these days. I say "to my surprise" because I had associated the network54 service with Rick Potvin conspiracy theories, but in fact the "Cold Filter" site is not Potvin-owned. Cold Filter has two advantages over CryoNet: 1. It is topic-threaded. In other words, messages are grouped by topic so that you can view the to-and-fro progress of a discussion very easily. 2. It is not time-dependent. Each post appears on the site as soon as the person writes the text. An active topic can evolve quite rapidly. I am not suggesting this is a substitute for CryoNet, but it is a useful supplement. Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=27103
