Well, I'm certainly one, having found OB/LW through the Immortality Institute forums, where I've been researching health topics obsessively for several months. My vague personal impression is that life extension enthusiasts are not especially prevalent here.

Are either of you two signed up for cryogenics?

As a 19 year old student living in Hungary cryonics is way back on my list of life extension related things to do. Nevertheless I think cryonics is a great option and I'll sign up as soon as I figure out how I could do it in my country (Russia being the closest place with cryo service) and have the money for it.

As a side note, I think cryonics has the best payoffs when you've got some potentially lethal relatively slowly advancing disease like cancer or ALS, and have the option of moving very closely to a cryonics facility.
