Point taken. A poor choice of words on my part. (But please don't bandy around words like bigot - it's rather insulting.)

No, but not because I'm not willing to put the effort in. Firstly, because I think that with PE, we don't need another invertebrate palaeo online journal - at present, at any rate. Secondly, I wouldn't have the first clue where to start. I have no experience at all. In a few years, who knows?
