Re: Symposia proceedings

Tom, Patrick, etc.

    I have to second Tom's endorsement of the DinoFest International
symposium proceedings as a high quality publication.  I am still reading it
(I'm one of those working guys, trying to pay bills while waiting for
delayed paychecks, and reading hundreds of pages of computer magazines and
books each week - just trying to stay current).  I have been enjoying
reading the proceedings (I take it with me on doctors' appointments - I'm
only just past the 200 page mark) - It's good to see some familiar friends'
work, and to see the work of some newly-made acquaintances.  Some very good
information is there, which is great for those of us who do not have ready
access to all the normal sources for papers.

    I hope that St. Louis Science Center does as fine a job as ANSP managed
to do (on DinoFest itself [although some friends of mine were disappointed
with the actual displays], on the Symposium, and on the publication of the
previous proceedings).

    I will check if ANSP is still publishing/selling the current volume
(unless someone is lurking who already knows??).
