X-Message-Number: 9486 Date: Tue, 14 Apr 1998 10:38:13 -0700 From: "Billy H. Seidel" <> Subject: Thanks to Joe Strout Thanks Joe for pointing out my misspelling of Bob Ettinger's name. I apologize to all for this error and most of all to Bob Ettinger. The most important word in the world is our name and to misspell it is not right. I now have Ettinger in my spell checker and hopefully will not make that error again. To miss a 't' does not make the rest of what I said invalid. I have never been a good speller. You pointed out that "scam" is a serious charge to make. I can only say that I did not make it absolutely clear that this was and is my opinion only and not a charge against anyone. Let me restate without using "scam". In my opinion to keep promoting a process that is clearly inferior to others is not a thing to do. I do not have the resources or care to duplicate what others have done in order to decide what is the best choice for my suspension. Therefore, I will rely on others more knowledgeable and their research to help me make a more informed decision. I hope that CI will be able to take advantage of Mike Darwin's offer to upgrade CI's suspension protocol. In my opinion this would go a long way to improve CI's credibility. I believe that I am much more than a casual observer. What I have done for cryonics is too long and involved for this forum and would take more time than I want to put into it now. My contributions are very minor to others who are far more deserving and worthy of that kind of recognition. However, if you or anyone else would like to know more about what I have done in the way of effort, money, promotion, etc, please e-mail me direct. Or you can call me. 520-203-0161. Thanks again Joe, I also have no desire to start or get into a flame war. I only wanted to add my thoughts. I should have been able to do it in a less inflammable way. Billy H.
