Until now! Through  sheer stubbornness I have repeatedly tried  different 
wordings to try to make clear to others what seems clear to me,  namely, that 
uploading is unlikely to be successful no matter how advanced the  
technology may be.
 
In the last week or two on the CI forum Cryonics 

_ (mailto:)  there was a 
lively exchange,  and a 
few who started out insisting that uploading  must succeed ended by  conceding 
that it might not. One of those was Jones Murphy, a very bright and  well 
informed individual.
 
Whether this will have any importance of course is unclear, but it gives me 
 some satisfaction.
