It is particularly interesting that the Alcor/Darwin split happened
with much shouting and flamage on cryonet, and the ACS/Darwin split
happened with *no* mail to cryonet at all.  So the cryonics community
is learning, and what it has learned in this case is that
communicating about things like this on cryonet is worse than useless.
This is sad and probably true.  (Disclaimer: This analogy shouldn't be
taken too seriously because Alcor and Darwin were together for years
(decades?), and ACS and Darwin were together for months.)

This is assuming that the ACS/Darwin split is for real.  Confirmation
or disconfirmation from ACS or Darwin or both would be good to see.
