That was probably me, but I don't remember my posting being a chastisement, 
more a word of caution.  If you do mean to go to SW Kyrkyzstan to search for 
_Longisquama_, remember to bring your can of Terrorist Repellent.  I'd hate 
to see anyone kidnapped by Islamic militants - even you Eric.

(By the way, I'm no expert on English language, but is the above usage of 
"sic" entirely correct?)
