X-Message-Number: 12518 From: Thomas Donaldson <> Subject: to Charles Platt, if he's listening Date: Thu, 7 Oct 1999 23:43:23 +1000 (EST) 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 Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=12518
