OK, this post probably doesn't belong here, but I promised to respond last week in cold filter to a post. I want to put it somewhere, and I seem to be here a lot, so, hope nobody minds.

Not questioning his integrity, but if he's such a cryonics supporter, how come he hasn't been signed up for years? Why wasn't he "able to get his suspension funded at CI?"

Unfortunately I have become the poster boy for paralysis of analysis. I joined CI because it’s no debt policy and sound business practices, but I didn’t like the contract and wanted to have it changed. Now, let me say this about the contract, because it has been a few years since I took a hard look at it. My recollection was that it was an excellent contract as far as protecting CI. I don’t know who drafted it, but it really offered some bulletproof protection for CI. But as a customer I wanted to make some changes to the document. Then I started reviewing all of the paperwork, and wanted to read the whole over 20,000 posts at cryonet. I started taking data and notes on such things as
Autopsy, Religious objection

Cryonics straight freeze and vitro, Problems with freezing methods.
http://www.imminst.o...o...ic=4621&hl=And of course, I had to pause to take some time helping on the whole stump bill issue
Do,,, or Die...The War on Immortality, Call to arms, Stump Bill
http://www.imminst.o...o...ic=3153&hl=And of course I had to get those lovely cryonics Quotes.
http://www.imminst.o...o...ic=4598&hl=And for those not checking the links, I would like to point out the very first quote I found was a quote from Robert Ettinger which ironically states “But don't let indecision paralyze you. It is sometimes more important to be decisive than to be "right." After all, if you join one organization and later decide you made a mistake, it's probably not a big deal. You don't tie up a lot of money by joining. Delay can cost you everything--and has done so
in the past for many people.
Yeah, How’s that for prophesy.
I wanted to study other legal issues like
