other challenges

["Ken Kinman" <kinman@hotmail.com>]

To all,
    Thanks for the info.  So much for Tarsitano.  I will be sure to read 
the Stokstad followup article in Science.
    I guess I should now concentrate on some of Martin's challenges (e.g., 
semilunate perhaps not strictly homologous in birds and theropods?; etc.), 
and Ruben's more recent challenge about the lungs (hepatic piston and all 
that).
                    ----Cheers, Ken Kinman
P.S.  I am indeed very disappointed by the whole Longisquama thing overall.  
Seems rather disingenuous for them to claim that homoplasy covers just about 
everything EXCEPT for feather-like structures.  What goes around, comes 
around.  But I am still struggling to give them the benefit of the doubt.  
In the meantime, my {{Aves}} marker remains next to Saurischiformes.
