    There may be a little selection error involved, in that the Extropians
    actually working to accomplish things are less likely to participate in
    the list regularly or often.

    For myself, I rarely post, and only rapidly skim when I lurk. Often when
    I do post, it is more entertainment and whimsy that leads me to than a
    difficult scientific debate that I haven't the time for.

    I don't have the time because I have returned to school to do graduate
    work in molecular neurobiology. I made the decision to do so while
    attending Extro 4. You may conclude what you like from that.
