Sorry about the subject of the posting. I did send the message to Mike Perry editor of VMN and he has already informed me that it will be included in the next issue. I thought that the information (and the publicity for VMN) would be valuable and of interest to those on CryoNet and sci.cryonics (where I *did* change the subject text). In answer to Dave's specific point, the phrase "'tradition of fierce independence' and their lack of cooperation towards one another" was a quote and paraphrase of what Mike Perry had written in VMN. (The complete sentence from VMN is: "One difficulty, of course, is that the Project is to be a joint effort involving different cryonics groups and their membership, which, as we well know, have a tradition of fierce independence and an unwillingness to commit themselves in this way.") I was simply being agreeable and explaining how I had planned around that "difficulty". It was most heartening to read Dave's enumeration of the many ways in which different cryonics organizations *are* now working together. I am sure that this bodes well for the future of the cryonics movement. >I hope that things will get even better in the future. Me too. -- Paul -- !!!!!
