leveled at me by Natasha because I run an E-zine called EXTROPIA, and
she tried to persaude me I should change the name.<

Because I deal with marketing, communications and multi-media, I responded
to your public request for suggestions regarding your online zine. This
magazine is about posthumanity, and it made good business sense to reflect
that term in your title. I suggested that for marketing purposes the name
"Posthumanity" might be better strategy for your goals. I did not try to
persuade you to do anything.

One of the aspects that I do appreciate about your belief system is a
desire to attain enlightenment. You have a wonderful opportunity at this
very moment to rise above the situation and to let it pass. Not everyone
will agree on the specificity of posthuman or transhuman, the Singularity,
or SI.

The important issue is how we deal with conflicts. Let's set an example
together.

Natasha
