X-Message-Number: 32038 Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2009 21:24:39 -0400 Subject: Clarification and small apology From: Rudi Hoffman <> --0016364181d5ea7e5a04754e3520 Hi Cryoneters, This is Rudi Hoffman from Florida again... Given the amount of challenges most everyone deals with these days, and especially the more responsible members of the Alcor board, it is not helpful, especially at this particular junction, for me to compose verbiage that may be perceived as critical or accusatory. I apologize if my earlier email was even remotely innapropriate or ill timed. I re-read my earlier email, and thought I should add this addenda. All of us are (probably) doing the best we can, given the full set of circumstances. And I don't want to be even remotely positioned to be "piling on" or saying that the Alcor board is directly responsible for the LJ situation by hiring non-cryonicists. I do maintain the position, no doubt also maintained by the full board and the executive search committee, that ideology and value systems matter, and are hopefully and no doubt being considered as a component in their executive search for the optimal candidate. Thanks for allowing me this small but nuanced apology/explanation.
