few days tacked onto David's message. I'm not sure what relevance is
implied, other than possibly the implication that I, Max More,
Kurzweil and others think it's a topic worth discussing, therefore David's
writing should be worth discussing?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>David, I've seen your writing, mainly on WTA-Talk, and my
impression (trying to give allowance for the language barrier) is one of
breathless enthusiasm but relatively little substance. For me personally,
it would help if you would use a format that doesn't come across as a sales
pitch. For example, if you were to make some statement (preferably
something novel, insightful or controversial within the context of the extropy
list), and follow it will some concise supporting statements and perhaps a
statement as to why others might see it as
significant.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

meaningful response.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
