I take it, then, that you oppose the idea of a web-based special
topic technical journal devoted to memory, freezing and ischemia?
A pity.

Question:  It's my understanding that AOL, Prodigy, Pipeline, Compuserve
and the rest all claim they provide access to the web.  As you are posting
from Compuserve, perhaps you can provide first hand information: can
you access the web through Compuserve?

Observation: I see you have adopted the common (and somewhat irritating)
rhetorical trick of misrepresenting the position of someone you disagree
with.  Specifically, you represent that I advocate ending discussion
of memory, freezing and ischemia in this forum.  As my original
suggestion included a convenient mechanism of both posting to your
favorite news group and simultaneously submitting the post to the
proposed web-based journal, it would seem that the major thrust of
your criticism is based on an error.
