Maybe that's because the two have in fact very little in common, apart from a desire to "transcend" or whatever. Transhumanism is a practical, serious philosphy (probably the "ultimate" philosophy) while the above groups (and some others like the Church of Virus etc.) are either [intended as] jokes or are New Age with a thin transhuman coating.
Btw, I just joined the Physical Immortality list (description: "a forum for people who want to spearhead the achievement of physical immortality in our lifetime") at ONElist. Is anyone familiar with this one?
