Don, thank you for setting this out.  Congratulations for your part in
maintaining one of the jewels that manifest what the promise of what the
world wide web was supposed to be about:  a wonderful anarchistic exchange
of ideas, references to studies and exchange among engaged individuals where
everybody can put in their two cents worth or ask questions with the hope of
receiving some response or arrow pointing in the right direction.   It's
mind boggling to me to be able to hear from interesting  people from
Australia, Germany, U.K., and all the other corners of the world tied into
this knot of paleo seekers.  In my present mood, I can even forgive the
obnoxious pencil necked geeks who sometimes seem to live to insult.  It's
all part of the party.
