Haha. Listen, no one thinks for me. I tend to contemplate stuff for
months, even years, before I actually do anything.

After our board meeting, anything I have in mind will be open to all ExI
members, and non-members, and anyone can make a suggestion.
The bottom line is that ExI needs to make a change and I am working on ways
to ignite the change. This is not new and certainly has been discussed for
a couple of years. Acting too quickly can be as counter-productive as
acting too slowly. Whatever changed ExI makes will be for the benefit of
extropic thinking, and there will be no ulterior motives. Again, the
bottom line is that "critical extropic thinking" is the one key element
that is sorely needed in the world and I believe we are the people to
market it.

Gee, thanks. I'm doing very well and the bladder cancer is under
control. I still work out as much as possible and my muscles are getting
back into shape. The only problem is that I sometimes am incontinent, but
that would have happened in a few years anyway :-)
