Hi Michael:
Although in some ideal world having Alcor lodged in Alavie's building may
be a good idea, I remember how these parties became alienated from one
another very clearly and I doubt that we live in such an ideal world ---
to put the matter mildly. TT and ACS, and Alcor, aren't simply 
"competitors". Alcor very seriously mistrusts both ACS and TT, about
what they say of their own plans, about the value of any of their 
promises, and even about their treatment of patients. No relations can
be constructed on the basis of mistrust.

It will take some time to dissipate that mistrust. While again (in 
general) I feel unhappy that this situation arose, I know both sides and
doubt that in our hard real world any such cooperation is possible.
My own C'serve address will end up in this message; I will discuss that 
matter (at least from my own perspective, the best anyone can do) in
much more detail if you wish.
			Best
				Thomas
