In any case, Joe -- if you can list what services you see Alcor as providing, and which of those services you think various other organizations do not provide such that you see them as not being "full-service" (maybe different services for each organization) -- keeping things as much as possible to matters of fact rather than matters of opinion (in my experience, "best" is almost always a matter of opinion, because it assumes a set of values; "fastest" can be a matter of fact when sufficiently circumscribed) -- maybe those of us in the studio audience can get data with which to make our own decisions without unnecessary raising of blood pressures. BTW, what ever happened to that idea about a neutral-party comparison of cryonics organizations that (IIRC) Aubrey de Grey came up with? I think that would help a *lot*.
