[ A lot of interesting thoughts have been brought forth on this thread,
  but now that the messages mostly discuss political theory and don't even
  mention cryonics anymore, I think that we are straying a bit too far.
  Let's get back to cryonics. - KQB ]

I think the moderator is overstepping acceptable bounds here. 
Expression of opinion should be in a separate message. 

If the political problems surrounding cryonics were solved,
the others would be gone pretty fast (IMHO).

If there is too much material coming through the mailing list, then
it is time to create a USENET newsgroup. This would reach a much 
larger group of people, allows simultaneous discussion threads, and is a more
democratic structure.

[ Comments anyone?  FYI: Re: Creating a USENET newsgroup, the size of the
  cryonics mailing list recently grew beyond 100 email addresses, some of
  which are redistribution points to I-don't-know-how-many-people.
  In the past 90 days the mailing list has had about 60 messages with a
  total of 3000 lines and 150,000 bytes of text.  On average, this comes
  to two messages every three days, each of which averages 50 lines and
  2500 bytes.  (Is this big enough for USENET?) - KQB ]
