	I'll point to two (deliberate deceptions) that are recurring
themes in your posts.

1)	Repeated statements (explicit and implied) that cryonics is
	unlikely to succeed (and cryonicists are looney ressurectionists)
	because we freeze legally dead people.  You know perfectly well
	from my posts on this subject that cryonics patients are typically
	given CPR, which when applied < 10 minutes after cardiac arrest
	renders the "legal death" label moot.  Under ideal conditions,
	the brain of a cryonics patient is as biologically alive as yours
	or mine at the start of the procedure.

2)	Repeated assertions that some cryonicists are Con Men (with all
	the attendant derrogatory baggage that term implies).  The only
	justification you provide for this pejorative is the language
	we use to capture attention.  (And if slogans and mottos were the SOLE
	basis on which consumers made decisions, 99% of organizations would
	be "Con Men".)  The reality is that NOBODY pays a penny to my 
	organization without first reading a 3000 word essay on the
	problems of cryonics that make your criticisms mild by comparision.
