Hi Eli - 

You are assusming that ExI and its Board have not been discussing the list
and the current situation.  Not so.  We have been discussing it for several
days.  

However, I agree with you re the libaility of poor judgment on
transhumanism, ExI and all of us.  This includes defamatory statements made
on the list about transhumanism, ExI and any of us by any of us.  

Natasha
