X-Message-Number: 20769 Date: Thu, 02 Jan 2003 00:07:48 -0700 From: Mike Perry <> Subject: To Rudi Like others who have posted here I am saddened by what has happened but hopeful and confident you'll do okay, Rudi. (I didn't see your posting when it came out--too snowed with work to look at Cryonet that day--so I'm slowed down responding.) You have my deep and heartfelt respect for your honesty and integrity, and the services you have performed for the cryonics community over the years. I also think your posting was very on-topic; no doubt depression is a factor in people not signing up or in letting their arrangements lapse after they once have them in place. As cryonicists we need to "keep rappin'"--especially when things aren't going just right--to avoid the kind of tailspin that could lead, ultimately, to "other arrangements" besides cryosuspension or not a very good suspension. (I've certainly seen both.) Mike Perry Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=20769
