    Yeah I read it that way too.

    I noted that they are involved in using distributed computing
    for SETI and chasing cancer cures etc. I guessed they were
    pretty small beer but I don't really know.

    Free speech seems overpriced on occasion. I wouldn't
    worry though. I don't know you that well and the nature
    of the piece doesn't exactly come across as balanced.

    You've lots of room for deniability if you want it. The
    piece states you don't consider yourself an Extropian
    but your followers are :-)

    Play this write and it can spin to your favour imo.
