Randy,
You are probably referring to my post, "Report from Dino Fest, Part 2." 
Dr. Ostrom humorously said the _Velociraptors_ in _Jurassic_Park_ were 
really _Deinonychus_ because of their similar attitudes -- it was just a 
joke. (Please note the smiley that followed the line in the original post.)
