Dear John,

I like the idea of conservation of information.  However, as you know,
information is just a negative entropy (or vice versa).  Therefore, to
propose the conservation of information is an equivalent to propose a
conservation of entropy.  But this has to be reconciled somehow with the
second law of thermodynamics.  Any idea how to do this?
