It puts me in the tedious position of having to read in now four
places if I want to get everything that I might be interested in
pertaining to cryonics, and I can't do spam sorting on three of those
places.

It also puts me in the novel position of having to figure out how to
respond to an ad-hominem but otherwise content-free post from a
pseudonym.  Apparently my motives are bad because I am the wrong
person, so my arguments are bad.  I'm being told this by someone who
evidently posts under a pseudonym because his true name has acquired a
negative reputation.  He is therefore bad, so by his own rules, I must
be ... good?  But wait, he is bad so his rules are bad, so I must be
bad?  My mind seizes up.

Nevermind. "Finance Department" is just another Rick Potvin tentacle,
and he routinely drinks freshly squeezed kitten blood for breakfast,
so there's no way anything he says can have any value.
