"Find enclosed a message by Ken Carpenter posted at the SVP list... how am I
counting the seconds for the SVP meeting... it's going to be hot!
I mean: Paleontology and conspiracy theories... Bird Connection and its
hidden agenda ... Next script for the X-files: Ruben as Scully and Geist as
Mulder(or viceversa)."

I see the Rubenoos as more akin to the Lone Gunmen.  Bakker as the Smoking Man?  Oops, better cut that thread short before it gets out of hand.

REALLY anxious to see that Triassic feathered 'animal'."

You wouldn't be shocked by the novelty of the "feathered" animal.  AFAIK (but don't quote me on this) it is Longisquama.  I do not know if an abstract on that is in the JVP-SVP abstract volume. I do know that ?Kurochkin etc. have restudied it lately.
