I'm not sure exactly who originally wrote this, but I'm pretty should it
was directed to Dr. Holtz.  This is rather uncalled for because, as I've
mentioned in the past, Dr. Holtz is very careful to answer nearly every
query posted to the list by amateurs.  

I haven't yet gotten my hands on the original Arctometatarsalia papers.
I hope to soon.  Based on descriptions in several books and the exhibits
I've seen, it seems that this group is a good one.  However, I don't
really know if troodontids belong with the ornithomimosaurs (but I'm no
expert).  

Thanks for your contributions to the list, Dr. Holtz.
