Well gee Charles, I said it wouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out
what's going on, but obviously it takes someone with more inches of forehead 
than you have. The answer was there, period.

As for Saul Kent's reply: first he says that the risk Mike posed to Alcor 
would have caused them legal troubles, doesn't sound very serious does it?
especially when the tradeoff is a better quality suspension. But then Saul 
says that the risk to CryoCare is to thier patients and future patients, and
this was exactly my point: a better quality suspension won't do you any good 
if you can't stay frozen!!! It looks like the Alcor board was doing its job 
by putting their patients first.

Saul admits that he misrepresented his real opinion on the matter by telling 
the Alcor board what he thought they wanted to hear, so how are we supposed 
to know if he's now telling everyone else what he thinks they want to hear?

Saul gave his reasons for preferring a BPI suspension to that of Alcor, and
so I'd just like to list a few of the reasons why I'm signed up with Alcor:

        They have more certified transport technicians than any other
        cryonics organization;
        They have more cummulative experience doing cryonics;
        Their thoracic surgeon is an Alcor member who cares deeply about
        what she's doing;
        They have the best record for stability and financial strength,
        they have also had their financial statements audited;
        I've heard that Alcor has recently attracted medical professionals;
        They have more expeience in retrieving people from far away places;
        Since Alcor is only 1 organization, there's only one place to go
        to find accountability for what happens.

Ever forward,

David
