We have a right (maybe a duty) to inform Alcor members
of the problems.  Part of my complaint is that the
general membership is not being made aware of how bad
things are getting in the area of membership growth
fall off, financial condition, and other Big Mistakes
the board has made, they have not had information and
debate on other possible ways to elect directors that
may make things more safe for Alcor members and
patients.  The present director-elected director
system seems to make that more dangerous and painful
for a regular member to do.

If you remember, I first went only to the board and a
private group several months ago with these complaints
and suggestions.  The board told me to go fly a kite. 
If the membership doesn't feel these things are
important and rally to do something, then I am going
to the kite store.

When I started my posts this time around I put Cryonet
in the address box, everyone can see it. It was not a
BCC.

I am sorry if you did not notice that.  Are you
suggesting the directors may have two different sets
of answers to the questions I am trying to make
public, one for the public and then the real one? 
This is one of the very things I think needs to
change, the directors ought to be saying in private
what they would say in public.  They only have to be
careful what they say when they want to keep certain
things from being public.  That's ok with our own
private lives but not ok for a director of a public
501c3 non-profit company, especially one whose members
depend on honesty to try to save their lives.

Anyhow, if it wasn't clear by the addresses in the
"to" box then I apologize.

David

PS - this message is going to everyone, look at the
"to" box to see who that includes.
