new theropod in germany

[THammann@t-online.de (T Hammann)]

Hi all,

once more please excuse that I've misunderstood the jokes of some of you. 
Maybe I'm a little bit nervous because since a few days I can only think on 
this 
new dinosaur described in the press-release. Today I've phoned with many 
paleontologists and so I say once more: Every news I give to you is absolutely 
real (and some of them are even exclusive)!
I believe that many of you know this "fever" better than I do when there was 
something found completely new and fascinating to paleontology (Because some of 
you are the discoverers - you are the scientists). I am no paleontologist. I am 
a student of literature and politics and write in my spare time for some german 
newspapers. I'm also interested in dinosaurs since twenty years, so I was 
really 
fascinated of a dialog I had with a fossil hunter half a year ago. He told me 
that a friend of him had found a new species of dinosaur near the sites of 
Archaeopteryx but that it is a secret. First I didn't believe it. But when I 
heard of this a few weeks later from another fossil-hunter I started to believe 
this story. I searched for Mr. Weiss, the discoverer of the new theropod, and 
talked to him. He became nervous and told me that the scientists told him that 
it is now something "top secret". I had no chance to find out more of this. 
After a while I forgot the whole story. You can imagine how surprised I was 
when 
I read the press-release last week. Everything what the fossil-hunter had told 
me was true! Now I wanted to get every information of this dinosaur. I phoned 
Mr. Viohl and other paleontologists and collected every info of the new 
theropod. From the first moment on it was clear to me that I share every 
serious 
information of this discovery with the members of this list. Because I think 
that you are at least as interested as me in this case.
So once more please excuse that I misunderstood your jokes. Normally I'am very 
humerous. In this case I just thought that the realitiy might sound a little 
bit 
too spectatcular to some of you, but after some friendly mails I know that you 
doesn't make jokes on me at all. 
Of course I will scan the photos of the new theropod as soon as I get them. Mr. 
Viohl told me also that I'am allowed to see the fossil in real. Now he is two 
weeks in holiday, but he will show it to me when he is back.
Once more thanks a lot for your interest so far. Of course I'm always 
interested 
in the opinions of you (you are the specialists).
Nice greetings,
Thomas
