We know just enough to be dangerous!  ;-)

I don't even read my posts from '95.  Way too embarrassing.  It's good
that we *don't* put out CDs of our greatest hits.

The Web-based journal _Palaeontologia Electronica_ is only an increment
more "publish-y" than us.  It disseminates CDs of its Web-based issues to
libraries and other interested people.  But AFAIK, _Palaeontologia
Electronica_ does not qualify as a medium for naming new taxa by the ICZN
rules.

All things considered, ICZN's rule is a good one.  If the DML started
naming dinosaurs, we could do some real damage!  ;-)
