Sounds like semantics to me. Sorry if this seems underhanded, but
I'm trying to make a point. As I said in the first paragraph of my initial
post, I wasn't trying to single anyone out in particular, just bringing
forth a few examples of what I see as unimportant to extropians. Again,
this doesn't mean that the issues aren't important per se, but probably less
important on this list.
