Easy, and I would give the Transhuman the same advice as I'd give to any
novice computer user, if you're going to have a backup make sure it's current.

Telepresence does count, that's where your consciousness is concentrated,
assuming it even makes sense to talk about the position of consciousness,
it's a little like talking about the position of red, or the position of this post for that
matter. At any rate the position of the brain is irrelevant assuming it's not so far
away that time delay due to the speed of light becomes important. I certainly
don't feel like I'm in a small dome made of bone.
On a different subject, the 8 post limit is easy enough to get around, just respond
to several people in the same post, but please, don't quote 60 lines of quotes
and 70 lines of quotes of quotes and then reply with one line.
