This is the bottom line. Is this really what we want? Cryonics right now has a very high S/N ratio. 100 times the people doesn't mean 100 times the useful content. I'm happy with things as they are EXCEPT I would like to see the list moved to a mail reflector so that it will be more responsive. A USENET newsgroup is a more democratic structure, even when moderated, Many of us don't like democracy, you know. What does it gain us? Has the current moderator done anything you don't like? So far I have no complaints, and if I did, I would just start a new group rather than try to impose my will on him. Perry Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=426
