In my humble estimation, Ron wasn't referring to artists posting 
messages, but, rather, messages posted *concerning* dinosaur art -- 
specifically, dinosaur sculpture/models vs. dinosaur illustrations.  

I read his post and winced, because I myself have posted several 
messages concerning sculptures but never anything concerning 
paintings/sketches.  The models are my personal preference;  only a 
handful of list-people share my interest in dinosaur modeling, so you 
could question the relevance of my  posts.  But everybody is 
interested in the illustrations (often passionately -- vehemently -- 
interested!).  

Maybe you artists can balance me out!

I'm just glad they're dead
