[ExI] Alcor dumping "grandfathering"?

[Max More]

Keith: Rather than inflaming people based on rumors, why not wait until
Alcor communicates what is being considered in order to tackle the massive
underfunding problem that has accumulated over many years? (Details of a
possible proposal will probably come out in about two weeks.) Something MUST
be done, but the proposal under consideration is much less dire than you're
painting it.

Eugene: That's just about a content-free statement. And it's not in the
least bit helpful. Who is this "you" that you're referring to? Do you mean
yourself? Do you mean people far away from Alcor, in Europe? Do you mean
everyone with arrangements with Alcor? I suspect that you've been reading
Darwin's blog and actually believing his collection of lies, distortions,
exaggerations, out-of-context claims, and occasional truths. Or is there
some other basis for this off-hand, dismissive, and destructive statement?

P.S. I'll be traveling to England (for the SENS5 conference) on Thursday
morning. I'll do my best to respond to any worthwhile posts on this topic,
but can't guarantee that I'll be able to.
