       The question of "Did the Fungi Do It?" will be hard, if not 
impossible, to close now that it has been opened. But the question of "Does 
speculating about my area of study being involved in the destruction of the 
telegenic dinosaurs assist with maintaining a public profile for my area of 
study?" has received further positive confirmation. As if that were needed.

       Cynical? Moi? Hey, I work in the oil industry. It's a necessity, not 
a privilege!
