Re: The Summers Theory: The General Basics

[Stephen Faust <smfaust@edisto.cofc.edu>]

Take care, gentlemen. Summers may not have a valid theory. I don't know. 
I have not read her book and I'm not a paleontologist. But, bet she's a 
pretty savey lady that will ( has ) already taken her idea to the bank 
and will improve her bank account on a sequel. Ever heard of Daniken? If 
you have visited Central America and know something of anthropology, you 
also know Daniken's book was a crock, but he really cashed in on it. Bet 
he has more toys than the rest of us put together. Would also stake 6 
months salary on a wager that Summers publisher provided some rationale for 
her being called a paleontologist. It wasn't her idea. The publisher 
wanted to enhance her credibility and gave her an excuse .Believe me, I know 
how these publishers work.Any takers?
