Hi Peter:

The thoughts you express above have occurred to me on several 
occasions, notably during the lengthy debate on digital vs. 
analogue computing and the mathematics involved.  What restrained 
me from posting my reservations in a similar manner as you did in 
the above text was the realization, that there is not enough of 
substance happening in cryonics to keep Cryonet active and alive, 
without the inclusion of such peripheral topics, which are often 
only tenuously tied to cryonics.  As long as the postings are 
responded to, it means, that the subscribers are interested and 
keep reading.

If and when C21 research spawns some concrete results, there will 
hopefully more debate on the subject forthcoming and the 
parameters of contents of discussions can be constrained 
accordingly.

Best,

Olaf
