Dodson's article in American Paleontologist

and
not just one!  We could use more of those in paleontology.

Ah, you were offering advice for future posts, not ones already submitted to
the list. I thought the tone of the discussion so far was well within the
bounds of respect and validity.

Thanks for the clarification.
