Except to the list, luckily not quite the same thing.

Yes, DAMN lucky I think Czerkas is working on the specimen and DAMN lucky
virtually nothing's been published.  If I weren't so DAMN lucky, who knows

Well, good luck in the field of paleontology then, I hope you learn more
restraint in your zeal and have a better understanding on how things work
and how long some things take.

Obviously nothing more can be said. Sink or swim, its up to you. You'll
either make friends or enemies, have a good rep or a bad rep. It's up to
you.
