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.
