  I had implied that Julia Clarke, in her thesis, had done so (with
regards to Hesperornithes being made into a crown, which I seem to have
gotten out of nowhere lately:

  see http://www.cmnh.org/dinoarch/2004May/msg00521.html and other posts
after for the discussion and griping I was doing about this.

  Well, that was primarily griping about taking a less used name over a
name that was published before, but their mutual application or synonymy
being unknown prior to any definition. My just quote gripe about pan-stems
of non-crowns ... seems to be based on a mixture of this and of Joyce,
Parham & Gauthier (in press) pan-stemming like mad. So there seems to be a
little confusion.

  Little steps are often the hardest to take.  We are too used to making leaps 
in the face of adversity, that a simple skip is so hard to do.  We should all 
learn to walk soft, walk small, see the world around us rather than zoom by it.
