I have been reading cryonet faithfully for 7 or 8 years. With some skimming, I read every word of you delightful and prescient geniuses out there, and enjoy most of them immensely.

My mother would heartily agree with you! :) you continue: I just wanted to say that I genuinely and sincerely appreciate the civility and erudition that seems to have taken hold, at least momentarily, on this generally unabashed and sometimes vitriolic forum. (end) You must know by now Rudi, IT SURE WON'T LAST!! Cryonet is the Beirut of cyberspace, even though peace does break out occasionally. you continue: The cryonics flame wars are exciting, but do not accomplish our life and death mission of working together towards the betterment of all. (end) I rather disagree on this point. I feel contention among us can at least sometimes bring out hidden truths. you finish: Keep up the great work, and thanks to all who participate in this wonderful adventure. (end) Cryonics is a wonderful adventure! :) When I read of where cryonics was ten or twenty years ago I am thrilled at where we may be less then a decade from now.
