Ah, I just saw this. Yes, Bill, I agree. The section on "extropism" seems
to me entirely out of balance to the rest. It should have its own page, if
enough people think it merits one. The extropy page really should have
links to the various versions of the Extropian Principles/Principles of
Extropy. I would do that if I had the time and energy for it. I've put in
on my "Maybe One Day" task list.

Mike D: If you're still not sure what extropianism or transhumanism are,
you will really have to buy a copy of *The Transhumanist Reader*. It's
intended as a definitive collection (of over 50 essays) on the topic,
edited by Natasha and myself. Due out in 2013 from Wiley-Blackwell. <End
plug.>
