Unless Max's dialog has gone mute, his lack of presence here implies
lots of private correspondence elsewhere.

Having a web site is entirely different than having a real-time online
presence. Are we the only ones making fools of ourselves publicly on
the extropian list while they correspond among themselves privately?

Same as above.

His web site consist of a meager directory structure. Too bad, I've
always liked Eric's PUBLIC contributions.

Same as above. Additionally, I have never seen Vernor in a online
real-time setting. Either he abhors mailing lists, stay offline, or
conducts all of his communications privately.

I'll give Hans a break. He is awfully busy running the SMU robotics
lab.

Tom was one of the originating members of the extropian movement along
with Max. Tom has obviously moved on to bigger and better things, but
what might those be?

Oops, my mistake, he is still around.

Well, designing web pages doesn't make one mute.
>
> >Kieth Henson
> He's busy suing the Scientologists (go get 'em!)
Yes, Kieth has always been a breath of fresh air and his online
presence is missed.
> >Kathryn Aegis aegis@igc.apc.org
She has always been a strong presence on this list, but alas, she is
gone.

To repeat, having a web site is a far cry from a real-time presence.

A frequent contributor to the original Extropy Magazine, I haven't seen
him since.

Real nice fellow, very serious, very busy doing the Silcon Valley
90-hour work week thing. As Michael Lorrey said, he is doing extropy
rather than talking about it.

?????? Haven't heard frmo her in a long time.

Perry has been missing for a couple of years at least.

I never said they were anonymous, only anomolous in their silent
(real-time) online presence.
