To Charles Platt, if you're listening:

1. Perhaps I am less educated and informed than most, but just what is
   ROTFL an abbreviation of?

2. I too wondered about Bob Ettinger's comment. However I will say
   personally that to me it doesn't matter how extreme cryonicists may
   be, so long as they don't physically injure one another and somehow
   get some work done towards our common goal.

   I'll also add that the Lions or the Elks, or for that matter any
   really large organization with lots of members, are in a very different
   condition from that of cryonicists. Ignoring completely what 
   cryonicists believe, the total number of cryonicists remains very small
   compared to every other organization I know of. And just the idea of
   joining ANY set of people so small is likely to put off lots of 
   "normal" people; and simply by being small, those who decide to 
   publicly join and publicly become active are likely to already be
   bordering on the strange.

			Best and long long life to all,

				Thomas Donaldson
