What is this the citation for Carrano's work? I am interested in
reading it, since at the Dinosaurs in the New Millenium symposium
(though this was in late 2003), unless I misunderstood his talk, he
seemed to argue that dinosaurs as a whole trended towards widespread
increases in size, with localized examples of decreases (titanosaurs
and birdlike coelurosaurs)

One might also note, the list archives are public (albeit with a delay
between messages being posted on the list and appearing in the
archives), so removal of portions of the original author's message in
the response in order to reduce the length of the overall message
being sent over the list seems entirely appropriate to me.
