Is whacking people over the head for old posts they did going to be the new sport around here?

I wonder what the date is on J.R.'s negative cryonics comment? Does he still feel that way? I find it interesting an extropian could feel that way. It would be easy to feel inferior when being brought back into a time where not just machines but humans are vastly improved. But, wouldn't future tech allow for "dysfunctional cryonaut brains" to be fixed? lol

I think J.R. might only be against the ambulances Alcor uses! Explain yourself Mr. Molloy! : )

Michael, they say what in Manga? I watch it too, but don't get the reference.

best wishes,

John
