Hi everybody, After all your arguments, opinions comments,from my point of view I agree with Sandy Leo that the most useful way of locating a fossil is: "1) lat/long locations, as political barriers move often 2) a site-specific map as geographical areas do not move. 3)geopolitical location name of the author's choice. Let us show both common sense, respect, and tolerance for our fellow scientists. If Xavier choses to be a Catalan and locate his find in Catalonia, so be it. Yes, sometimes the author mightchose a name that I disagree with or find mildly offensive or "wrong", but I will respect his/her choice. Hopefully the peer reviewers and editors will not discard otherwise acceptable papers because of a Country name!"

Iberpal is similar in scope to Paleonet. However, the main language is Spanish (or Castillian) but any other Latin language (Romance language) is most welcome (French, Italian, Portuguese,...). Moreover, as far as I remember, English has been used occasionally for general interest messages. Iberpal is an open, non-moderated and private list (it is necessary to subscribe to it). However Iberpal has rules http://www.rediris.es/list/info/iberpal.es.html See also http://jerwood.nhm.ac.uk/archives/paleonet/1996/msg00746.html (As in Paleonet the rules are applied with fair flexibility in a friendly environment) The person expelled from Iberpal was Xavier himself. Xavier did not follow the more basic rules of the list. The administrator of Iberpal, Miguel Pardo, advised Xavier several times before he was expelled. For those of you interested please read IBERPAL@LISTSERV.REDIRIS.ES, where all the messages are stored as a scientific tool. Miguel Pardo Alonso has great integrity as the administrator of Iberpal. Certainly, the person that started the discussion was NOT expelled unfairly from the list because he he belonged to one of the "nations, tribes or races" but because he was extremely ill-mannered. __ Dr. Patricio DOMINGUEZ-ALONSO Department of Palaeontology The Natural History Museum Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, UK patd@nhm.ac.uk patricio@geo.ucm.es padomin@terra.es Tel 0207 942 5335 (internationally 0044 207 942 5335) Fax 0207 942 5546 (internationally 0044 207 942 5546) _________________________________________________________________ Surf together with new Shared Browsing http://join.msn.com/?page=features/browse&pgmarket=en-gb&XAPID=74&DI=1059
