Subject: Questions People Aren't Asking

After reading all of the current postings, I seem to want to ask Bob
Ettinger, "What have you done for us lately?"


I see a lot of what 21CM has done and is proposing to do.  I see a lot of
what Fred and Linda Chamberlain are doing about BioTransport.  I see what
Joseph J. Strout is planning to do.  I see what Paul Wakfer is doing. I
read what Rafi Haftka is doing. Jim Helperin offers another scenario.
There are a lot of things that other folks are doing that really look
positive.


But Bob, in the words of my former boss, when I asked for a raise, "What
have you done for me lately?".


In posting #9620 Saul Kent askers, why isn't anybody asking?  Saul, I
never believed that you or anyone else at 21CM was even remotely
satisfied with the suspension protocol you have been using.  It has been
the very best that anyone could do but still not good enough.  Mike
Darwin and company have always promoted and worked for the best. I see
you and Bill doing the same.  I never had to ask what your motives were. 
I know that you guys are doing what I would like to do.  Very few of us
have the words or eloquence of speech that Mike Darwin has.  I wish I
did.  I have never asked Mike why he is doing one form of research over
another. I probably wouldn't understand anyway. I just know that he is
doing it with a great intensity and is making progress that will
eventually bring me (or others) back to health and life. Maybe we won't
have to die before we can take advantage of the progress you and others
have started.


I think Mike Darwin sums it up pretty good when he says.<bold> "It is
also fair to say that this work is in its infancy with enormous amounts
of hardware and software development needed to facilitate optimum
application of our protocol".</bold> 


Boy I wish I had said that.


Keep up the good work folks.  I want to be around in another 100 years to
carry on this conversation and you offer what looks like the best way to
do it.
