Subject: Minsky and the Skeptics

I recently got a message from the James Randi Educational Foundation,
which is a skeptics organization. Following is an excerpt about their
August 6th-9th conference.

Just thought people might be interested. I believe that Mike Darwin also 
once gave a talk at CalTech for the local skeptics group. I am curious how 
cryonics is handled by the skeptic community, if anyone knows.
