Sorry, of course they have -- in lateral view, while I was writing,
apparently not clearly enough, about dorsal view.

Just had a look at the *Gallimimus* dorsal view drawing in PDW. It has
sagitally inclined dorsal parts of _both_ the pre- and postacetabular alae,
and while the postacetabular alae do flare laterally, they don't get
parallel again (yet another of my so-far-unspoken implications :-( ). So,
just as an example, it doesn't have the combination of characters that
*Avimimus* and at least Neornithes have.

Good night Europe, good afternoon America, good morning Vietnam :-)
