Thanks to Steve Bridge for his insights re: web hits.  

As a point of information, my inquiries and web hits have decreased since 
initial TW hoopla.  But the quality of the inquiries seems to be somewhat 
better...i.e. more serious minded and thoughtful people, ready to take action 
and fill out paperwork.

It has been my experience that the gestation period of the cryonics meme is 
at least 6 months.  So the results of the web hits will/may filter in 
gradually over time.

Regards,

Rudi
