Hi Charles --

I plan to go to the Frozen Dead Guy Days festival (which
I contend does *not* make cryonicists look like buffoons,
though I also don't expect you to believe that) with a
happy-go-lucky disregard for whether or not you
disapprove of me.  FTR, I don't think I disapprove of
Mr. Despres *nearly* as much as you disapprove of me.  I
hope you've gotten over your panic, though -- it's bad
for your blood pressure ;-) .

As far as trying to get Kevin to keep Mr. Despres from
spamming us here, forcing him to go spam those who want
to read his posts somewhere else:  I made a request; if
Kevin ignores it, I'll sigh and go on.

Hm.  Thanks for the feedback; I apparently came off as
self-righteous in that message.  If I wear a
"mantel[sic] of piety", I don't think it's "freshly
fashioned".  I think I pretty consistently aim not for
"pious", but for "reasonable", "clear", "rational",
"constructive", "optimistic", and probably a number of
other positive things.  Sometimes I miss.  Oh well.
When I start getting "Reputation too low" messages,
I'll know I'd better aim higher.

Live long and prosper,
Kennita
