Subject: CRYONICS: Censorship

Charles Platt's request, that Mssrs. Coetzee and Bozzonetti stop posting
to Cryonet, is out of line.  (In any case, the request should have been
sent privately.)  It's reasonable to expect that C & B will eventually
bring their science up to snuff, and I think that their education is
worth some amount of time on the part of the "experts".  Typically, there
are many more lurkers than posters, and many of the lurkers are silently
asking the same questions as the posters.

Taken to its logical extreme, Platt's suggestion would result in Cryonet
consisting of an annual message from Mike Darwin informing us of the
advances made last year.

Charles, could we get away from "Cryonet = Marketing Tool"?  You sound
like some computer manufacturer trying to control his Users Group.  The
cause is better served by obvious blatant openness than by secrecy.
