Thank you.  It's good to be missed!  Between work, attempts at having a life, and the Cryonet & Venturist lists, I 
find the size and breadth of the Extropian list rather daunting now.  But from time to time I do extensively lurk in 
the archives and read various gems by you, and the other list members.  

It's amazing how much I care about people here I have either never met in person, or only been around in the flesh for 
a short time.  I almost always find the list a veritable cornucopia of informational goodness & treats for my mind and 
spirit.

I look forward to seeing how this list evolves over the upcoming decades.  Will there be an extropian list in 2040?  I 
suspect there will be!  But by then I will be an old man of 72, and hopefully will have been able to take advantage of 
the anti-aging treatments available.  And Ventureville (a cryonics community I am helping to plan & develop) at that 
point should be a long-established and well-known place on the map.  Perhaps some of you now far away from me will be 
my neighbor at that point.  

If one of you don't go ahead and do it, I just might try my hand at writing a book on how life worked out for the 
various present & future regular list members by the time 2040 has rolled around.  It would probably be best though if 
one of the professional writers among us took on this task.      

TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!! (A little friend made me see the movie this line came from about 500 times)

Best wishes,
