Excellent. Thank you. I will read this version tomorrow morning and
reply with any points that I would like to go over with you.

I would add that my understanding of the transhumanist/futurist
community in general,
and extropianism in particular, has deepened since 2005 due to a
greater frequency
and intensity of social interaction with relevant individuals; so
there are probably statements
in even the 2005 version that I wouldn't fully agree with now ...
... though, the spirit of the article of course still represents my
perspective...
Understood.
