Premature announcements was Re: Feathered Dinosaur Specimen

[Dinosaur Interplanetary Gazette <dinosaur@dinosaur.org>]

It will be announced tomorrow at 1 PM. EDT.

As a matter of respect, if anyone on this list has it <G>, for proper procedure, any announcements prior to publication create serious problems for the people who are publishing.  Y'all may remember problems with National Geographic prematurely publishing names.

Isn't there some unwritten code of paleontology that asks us all to be... errrr.... patient until the poor scientist can publish?

Maybe not.

Anyone know what genus and species name it will be given? Where was it found? I like the feathers!
