X-Message-Number: 11337 Date: Mon, 1 Mar 1999 11:03:29 -0500 (EST) From: Charles Platt <> Subject: Unsubscribing At this point I am unsubscribing from CryoNet since it serves no useful purpose whatsoever. Those who wish to discuss quantum states, machine intelligence, and all the rest of it have been politely encouraged to use a more appropriate forum, but have shown no interest in doing so. This philosophical waffle has driven away any meaningful material about human cryopreservation. I suspect I am not the first person to unsubscribe in disgust. Kevin Brown has shown great dedication, establishing CryoNet and maintaining its archives. Most of you are now wasting his time. I consider it one of the greatest ironies, and the most telling indictments of human attitudes toward mortality, that a group of people who are supposedly more concerned with staying alive than 99.999 percent of the population should spend their time in this way--in a forum that is supposedly dedicated to cryonics. Certainly anyone who becomes interested in cryonics for the first time, and discovers CryoNet, will receive a VERY strange impression of our priorities. This forum could serve as a recruitment tool; instead, it seems designed to have the opposite effect. --CP Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=11337
