X-Message-Number: 3578 Date: Mon, 2 Jan 1995 15:17:35 MST From: "Richard Schroeppel" <> 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. > ... it merely confirms the "crackpot" image of > cryonics in the minds of people who may casually browse through CryoNet. 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. Rich Schroeppel Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=3578
