Subject: CRYONICS: Pseudoscience and Trivia


I have a suggestion for Mr. Coetzee and Mr. Bozzonetti. If you are both
serious about cryonics (as you seem to be), would you consider devoting
your energies toward an existing cryonics group, instead of posting
frivolous messages here which waste bandwidth and valuable time? I admire
your dedication and imagination, but all of your "scientific" 
speculations have been conclusively debunked by people, here, who seem
knowledgable in their fields. Would it not be a better idea to devote
yourselves to projects where your talents are more appropriate to the jobs
which need to be done? I realize it may seem presumptuous of me to advise
other people how to spend their time, but it does seem rather pointless to
have a long succession of posts here which turn out to be not science, but
pseudoscience. It also wastes the time of people who write rebuttals, and
last (by no means least) it merely confirms the "crackpot" image of
cryonics in the minds of people who may casually browse through CryoNet.
