I am deliberately sending this message to cryonet only.

For the benefit of newcomers to the internet, and old hands who may have
forgotten, here is some advice.

The cheapness and ease of communication on the internet means that a lot of 
people out there who have nothing better to do (especially computer nerds,
students and extra especially computer-nerd-students) just get on it to
have arguements. No more than you would spend a lot of time or effort

arguing with a soap-box speaker on a street corner, spend time on the deliberate
flamers.

Look, these people are obviously not lawyers. For heaven's sake, their language
wouldn't be tolerated in any court! They haven't even attempted to answer any
legal questions posed.

If you do want to fight them, remember that the people you argue with directly
will probably *never* be converted, but a lot of other people read the messages
so make sure your postings are reasonable form the point of view of a impartial
observer who you might just convert.

For the sake of cryonics as a whole try to appear intelligent, informed, and
polite however nasty the other side might be. And take a long hard look at
yourself; if there is even the slightest chance that an inpartial observer
might possibly suspect, however erroneously, that you are a sufferer of
Asperger's syndrome, keep schtumm.

TTFN

PS To those of you who may be tempted to write in saying that I don't practice
what I preach, the rumour that I am uncouth and beligerent is untrue and was
spread maliciously by a snivelling bastard that lost an arguement with me. And
I might add that his injuries were entirely due to him falling down stairs of
his own volition!
