New Maderson feather paper

[dinoboygraphics@aol.com]

Not to be outdone by Ruben and Quick, another branch of the BANDit tree 
has published a detailed description of feather regeneration:

To be sure, while the paper is peppered with potshots at Prum and 
unneccesary editorializing of their views on proper citation and 
systemmic literature errors (who says they don't have a sense of 
irony?) the bountiful descriptive work looks like it will be a useful 
contribution to the literature.  It does not discuss bird origins at 
all, but I expect to see a Science Daily interview at any moment where 
they talk about how bird feathers could not have evolved from 
dinofuzz...
