[Just a reminder about posting to the Dinosaur Mailing List--the email address was changed to
dinosaur-l@usc.edu. The old address (
dinosaur@usc.edu) without the inserted hyphen + lowercase "L" (for 'list') no longer works. Some people appear to still have the older address as the default in their email setups and are contacting me when their posts get bounced. Friendly New Year's Resolution suggestion--update DML address!]
