Readers curious why Alcor has not responded to Paul Wakfer's 
"Prometheus Project" posting need to be aware of several factors:

1.  I am on vacation in Indiana.  I am typing this message on an 
inadequate little TI notebook computer.  I have not spent every 
waking minute thinking about cryonics.  Sorry.

2.  Contrary to some people's impressions, Paul's posting (along with 
a simultaneous letter to me) was the FIRST time Alcor had heard of 
this project.  We cannot decide whether or not to support it without 
knowing more about it.  (I am sending questions to Paul today 
also.)  Brian Wowk and Saul Kent obviously had more time to consider 
it and were ready to respond.

3.  As Alcor's President, I cannot commit Alcor to such a Project 
without discussion with the Board of Directors.  Since they ALSO just 
saw this for the first time, this will take a bit of time.

4.  This message is not intended to disparage Paul's hard work or his 
ideas.  I am encouraged to see this effort taking place.  It is 
merely to inform you all why Alcor's response has been delayed.

Steve Bridge
