     While I will try to reply, as Alcor's President, to questions as often 
as I have time to do so (NOT hourly), there will be some areas I cannot 
discuss in public.  CryoNet is NOT private; it is public.  It is accessible 
by anyone with WWW access, for instance.  This will often mean I cannot 
discuss reasonable or valuable suggestions publicly.  Examples of this 
might include suggestions of researchers with whom Alcor might wish to 
contract, or what legal strategies Alcor or other organizations might be 
pursuing relating to patents, lawsuits, and disputes with governmental 
agencies.  Business contracts and legal strategies are not appropriate 
subjects for public discussion.  Interesting, yes.  Appropriate, no.

     Cryonicists who have such suggestions would be better advised to make 
them by *private* e-mail, where they have a greater chance of being 
considered fairly and answered.  Since we cannot answer them publicly, 
continued attempts to ask questions on CryoNet which should be asked 
privately will appear to have more to do with the sender's sense of self or 
sense of politics than with a sincere desire to impart information or 
cooperation.
