Re: Thomas Donaldson said something similar.

Mike's cowboy attitude may have served well when things needed to get done in the early days of cryonics where the only people that we could look to were other cryonicists. Things are a little different today in that we have good relations with many different institutions, organizations, businesses, officials, etc.; and running roughshod over established business relations is a great way to shorten a career in cryonics.
