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.
