Beyond this, it should also be a spawning point for local activism and
social groups, promoting the growth of pro-life extension memes in our
society. All good stuff, all very necessary stuff. I know I'm restating
myself when I say we need to be out in the mainstream -- and accessible to
the mainstream -- to have a hope of achieving all that we want to achieve,
but it needs to be said often.

Absolutely! There must be some non-Australian writers out there willing to
have short articles on life extension, anti-aging or other appropriate
social topics published on the Longevity Meme website :) [Some have already
offered, and I do have a backlog of writings to run through, evaluate, or
help to rewrite].
As to those of you who don't write much outside of e-mail, drop by the
forum!
http://www.longevitymeme.org/forum/
There are a number of interesting discussions relating to life extension,
methods of getting society interested, the technology of building websites,
etc, going on in there...even a post from Keith Henson that arrived from out
of the blue. I'd love to hear viewpoints from the rest of you, and even a
single posting to a topic helps to encourage others to participate.
Community building is good!
(And thanks to Russell for the kind words :)
