Um, HEY.... Chris shoudnt you see whethere a
"media attack" is what is really wanted? Do some
homework?

For example, in Cryonics, there is a danger of half
baked schemes and unthought out plans making everyone
look bad, where suddenly the WHOLE movement is banned, and becomes
scutinized in the wrong way under government and/or public attack, and you
could literally KILL us with your
"media attack".

Theses are delicate balances and things have repercussions.
Chris, you are enthusiastic newbie, that is wonderful, I'm a newbie too, but
please check in with people more knowledgeable than yourself before you take
any action "in our Extropian behalf".
I really mean this.
Ask Max, do some homework, read about the transhumanist movement.
You may find many people have a quite different take on this than YOU.
Please think things though before you jump.

I, FOR ONE, WOULD NOT WANT YOU TO SPEAK FOR ME!
(However well intentioned)
Thank you for your time,
Nadia
