     I guess that I've really botched this one up good. Let me try to make my
position clear.

1.   I have great respect, honor and appreciation for Bob Ettinger as the
     "father" of cryonics. Without him, there might well not be any chance of
     such a project as I am promoting.

2.   I have no power or right to stop, forbid or "refuse to let" Bob Ettinger
     publishing whatever he likes in his *own* periodical. This is even more
     the case for me than others since *I* don't agree with copyright
     protection or libel/defamation laws.

3.   I believe that it is unfair and partial for a publication to publish a
     criticism of something without in the same issue publishing all
     meaningful replies to that criticism which were available to it at the
     closing date of the issue. And furthermore, I don't understand why
     rational people would want to read a publication which does such things.

4.   I believe that I have both the right and the duty to point out such
     transgressions wherever I find them in order to let social pressure and
     ostracism eradicate them and achieve a kind of spontaneous good order.

5.   That is all.
