Oh, since you were asking about the giraffe "orthodoxy" I suggested  
you read those articles.

And as for your (seemingly) asserting that I did not believe  
Brachiosaurus could dorsiflex to 9 m or so (in your recent sentence  
of questionable grammar), I presumed you hadn't actually read those  
articles I wrote with Mike Parrish, hence my going to the effort to  
excerpt them for you.

No I'm not assuming that, trust me.  I'm also not trying to convince  
you personally.  I just found myself trying to correct some potential  
misunderstandings that might arise from some DML postings.  Let's  
quit this thread because it seems to have degenerated to only being  
about misunderstandings between the two of us, and not of general DML  
interest.  I'll be at SVPCA Glasgow and be delighted to discuss over  
a beer, if you are going to be there.
