Paul is a valuable member of this list in my opinion and I certainly hope that he changes his mind about unsubscribing because frankly, off-topic posts will undoubtedly continue to appear on this list. I can't speak to the original rules/intentions regarding the quality/content of the Cryonet postings. But I disagree with Paul that any posts not directly related to cryonics should be sent to another list somewhere. I'm sorry that Paul doesn't feel a sense of community here. I do. There is much I would do for many members here if asked and I hope the reverse is true. I enjoy hearing 'cryonicists' views on life extension, the future that waits for us, the nature of identity, etc. ... I could go to those other lists and read others' viewpoints but I particularly appreciate the cryonicists' viewpoint. Paul, this seems a pretty trivial reason to leave us. Can't you simply scroll down to those messages with on-topic subject titles? Do we have to place an "OT" (off-topic) in front of anything not directly related? I would do that if it really upsets you so much. vita perpetuem, Scott Badger __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send instant messages & get email alerts with Yahoo!
