About me, you say "You want other people to be up-front, and you want them to be qualified. How is it that you are exempt from your own demands?" The answer to your question is quite simple, and a distinction you are missing. I am not offering cryonics services to the public. I don't need any qualifications. As I said in my other post to you, I am a potential customer, that is all. In that, I have a basic right to expect a certain quality of service before I am separated from my money in exchange for it. You are, probably deliberately, trying to confuse people about who it is that needs qualifications. Perhaps to make you feel better, though, the answer to the question in your first paragraph is "Yes."
As to some other things, "Sally," perhaps you might consider doing your homework a little better before you come on here complaining about the way things are. In the process of doing that, you might just discover the ISSUES we have all been discussing. Or is it that you are intentionally ignoring them, and focusing only on the people discussing them? A superb example of how little time you have actually spent looking for your own answers is your interrogation of Melody on her educational background. Just go to her blog

To one of your complaints "No one including our esteemed moderator address the most basic point, which is that this discussion list is supposed to be moderated." - Did you even bother to read the following statement that is staring you right in the face at the top of the forum's front page: "Please create an account with a handle or user name, and be certain you're logged in. New member posts, and posts from old inactive members, may be subject to moderator approval before appearing." ?? That sounds like a pretty good description of the extent to which this forum is moderated. Or is it just that the forum is not being moderated in a manner that you would prefer? I think that is probably what it is about, isn't it? And I suppose you would prefer all of our posts to be censored to remove embarrassing content? I bet you would even volunteer for the job if the forum owner asked you. Don't hold your breath on that happening.
