X-Message-Number: 552 From: Kevin Q. Brown Subject: Reference & Introductory Messages Date: 26 Nov 1991 Subject: CRYONICS Reference & Introductory Messages Some of the cryonics mailing list messages remain useful long after they are posted. (In particular, introductory messages for people new to cryonics are good to have readily available on-line.) Others, even though they may be well-written and well reasoned, are strictly topical or are part of a discussion distributed across several messages. Message #456 listed several such messages and suggested topics for other messages that would be useful to have on-line, too. Here is that initial list again (with one change, as described below). As before, a cursory glance is sufficient to show my bias; I tend to like my own postings! Please let me know of other messages that should be on this list. # LINES/CHARS DATE AUTHOR / SUBJECT - ----------------------- ---------------- 50 38/2311 Dec 29, 1988 Brown / Death of Death in Cryonics 157 172/10405 Feb 12, 1990 Bridge / Introduction to Cryonics (Revised) 351 37/1317 Jun 17, 1991 Hixon / Cryonics : Reaching For Tomorrow 431 119/6907 Sep 8, 1991 Brown/Jellinghaus / Unbounding the Future 552.1 259/10286 Nov 26, 1991 Brown / Cryonics Organization List (V3.0) Message #552.1 is an updated version of message #286, with updates for the entries on Abiolycist Macroscope, Alcor UK, Extropy, the extropians mailing list, Longevity Report, and New World's BBS (higher baud rate + another phone number). Thanks to Russell Whitaker for several of the updates. Oh yes, if you want to receive a copy of one or more of these messages, just let me know. Sending an email message to me with a subject line of the form: CRYOMSG xxx yyy ... zzz where "xxx", "yyy", and "zzz" are message numbers will either result in them being sent to you automatically (if the software is behaving) or, failing that, telling me that you want me to send them to you. Also, if you send email to me with the subject line "CRYOMSG", without any message numbers, you will receive a one-liner description (in the format used for messages 50, 157, etc. above) of the last 50 messages posted or made available to the mailing list. For example, messages 547.1 through 547.3: 547.1 132/6127 Oct 15 Kent / Letter Protesting FDA Jail Threat 547.2 207/8525 Nov 25 Misc / Extropians & Libernet FDA Messages 547.3 214/9559 Nov 25 Misc / Extropians & Libernet FDA Messages will be included in that list of the latest 50 messages and they are available via email to me with a "CRYOMSG 547.1 547.2 547.3" subject line, but they were not mailblasted to the cryonics mailing list.
