X-Message-Number: 5061 Date: Sat, 28 Oct 1995 07:54:11 -0700 From: John K Clark <> Subject: SCI.CRYONICS Exponential Growth Of Noise -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- "The post written by Mr. A is a waste of time" may not be as much fun or have the logical depth of "This post is untrue" but it is a recipe for the exponential growth of noise. Mr. A sends a post to a mailing list, Mr. B thinks it is off topic and a waste of bandwidth, and says so, to the complete mailing list, and then proceeds to quote the "off topic", "pointless" post IN IT'S ENTIRETY. Meanwhile Mr. A disagrees with Mr. B's assessment of his post and tells this to everybody on the list and, of course, quotes Mr. B's post (and that includes Mr. A's original comments) IN IT'S ENTIRETY. Meanwhile Mr. B ... John K Clark PS. If you think my comments have nothing to do with Cryonics and thus do not belong on Cryonet let's debate the point, on Cryonet naturally. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.i iQCzAgUBMJI78H03wfSpid95AQGaegTtFYaY5+YR6iRR8/+jRYiJuYDP/lzYgUTl AHn5cjDou3P91Q40vML2ZXwqoC9rt6OD/NfTT81lfWgW1wzZv5Ip1DtNk+uMs/hw tbG2KcR1gKuB3QzuEF9srapBAkfGWsyfVJkbFPqJP/B4VyFNvZBcVWHg9xlkpCiv oliVvhbS+pu4OI6eICROanNDkD3FookxTM3+mt1T7I98dJNtPj4= =45aU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=5061
