I for one would like to thank Frank for taking on this task.  The  fund is a 
chance for the DML to do something that fits right in with our charter  of 
dinosaur science, and it fell into our laps by chance.  It would be  great to 
see 
"Research funded by the Dinosaur Mailing List" in the  acknowledgments of a 
scientific paper.  What other mailing list has done  this?

< Now I am done.  I have been written to by several list  members who want 
me to be more aggressive (as they are disappointed that  more have not 
contributed) and some have written me to be MUCH MORE  aggressive in my 
requests.  Now I have offended you and perhaps others  by being TOO 
aggressive. >
Neither Mickey nor I have received any mail which complained about the  
postings.  Anyone who has objections to a thread may write to us  to voice an 
opinion.

We want to give Fabio the chance to do his field work this summer, so a  
cutoff date is appropriate.  We have had about a month of fundraising, and  the 
accounting indicates that we are very close to funding Fabio's  request.  
Participation is strictly voluntary.
