For the first, they have to agree that there is a problem, before making any effort at all. It appears that some don't see that there is a problem, that can't be resolved with the present structure. Online forums are not particularly good for 'hot' discussions, because the risk of miscommunication is high. People often use cover names, resulting sometime in irresponsible behavior. How can you tell if 12 'votes' for change are not actually coming from one person? Public forums may generate negative press to the detriment of Alcor and the movement. These are typically archived in Google's cache forever, so it is hard to recover from 'mistakes'. dss David Stodolsky Skype: davidstodolsky Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=30436
