Andre, I believe that you may have misread the project announcement text or
maybe it was not clear enough. In any case, your suggestion although a good
one, is inappropriate because of the way in which the project pledging is
being handled and the conditions on the pledges. They are not convertible
into *any* money until all $1M/yr is obtained and the project plans are
approved. And *I* have pledged to be consistently true to the initial terms
which I have set for the project. I simply *can't* and *won't* change the
terms because the going gets too tough. I intend to keeping working as long
as it takes, and searching as widely as it takes, and pounding on as many
doors as it takes to *reach* that $1M per year and to see that there *is* a
reasonable chance for my life to be vastly extended.

I again believe that you have somehow missed the potential paradigm
shattering significance that the success of the Prometheus Project could have
by showing that death is *not* invincible.
