The main thing that bugs me are those who just don't do basic Google research first (i.e., ten requests from the same person on the lines of, "can anyone send me all of the papers Brown wrote on Albertosaurus?", when a quick search would point them straight to the AMNH digital library).<BR/><BR/>And a bird flight moratorium, yes! But I still stand by my request to turn it into the "Ornithischia Discussion List". ;-)Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16171447306687358664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242881996852098.post-28316161602067225202008-09-04T05:17:00.000-07:002008-09-04T05:17:00.000-07:00I don't like PDF requests either, but I made one i...I don't like PDF requests either, but I made one in order to get a copy of the letter I wrote to ABT. Oddly enough, a PDF request is one of the things I think helped me make a contact that led to my current job.<BR/><BR/>Instead of no more theropod discussion, I'd rather just see a moratorium on discussions of the origin of flight.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08718847558790015112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242881996852098.post-76004801601373509542008-09-03T23:38:00.000-07:002008-09-03T23:38:00.000-07:00Excellent post!
