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?

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.
