No more on ethics and humor of hybrids/resurrection

["Mickey Rowe;893-2446" <mrowe@lifesci.ucsb.edu>]

I'm calling for an immediate cease and desist on the topics of ethics
and humor related to animal/human rights spun off from the mammoth
resurrection thread.  The original topic -- the science behind
attempts to resurrect extinct animals -- is close enough to our
charter to allow, but if you want to know or write about ethics or if
you want to tell people you think something was funny, please channel
your messages elsewhere.

This message constitutes invocation of the second paragraph of rule
8h:

http://www.lifesci.ucsb.edu/~mrowe/dinosaur/administrivia.html#no_nosh

Violate it at your peril.  If you want to send something that borders
on the topics I'm shutting down (or if you're unclear what it is I'm
stopping) please write to me directly for pre-approval.

Thanks for your cooperation,
