Dito!!! I am new here and came for the Paleo
content. I'm sure there are better
forums for the other issues bothering everyone. In the short time I have been to this site I have been re-acquainted
with several colleagues… this is great. Now I’m afraid to download
my mail for fear of the barrage of political NOT Paleo content. Thanks in advance for keeping this site on target and about
paleontology. Doug -----Original Message----- Please, let's remember this is the PALEO net server. No names in particular, but I have been informed by colleagues that
some of our political posters have been banned from other palaeontological listservers for expressing such views, in a manner that is out of
context with the true nature of the intention of this palaeontological network. There must be other lists where political views would be more appropriate and, I
am sure, welcomed and discussed wholeheartedly. The aforementioned persons should beware of ostracising themselves completely from the palaeontolgical community, and creating a self- deprecating reputation, especially when they have seemingly legitimate
and interesting research activities that the community will undoubtedly
benefit from. I am not criticising
political views: they are extremely important and make us who we are, but there is a time and a place, and I think most
of us agree that it is not here. I'm sure my e-mail will create some 'political' views of it's own, and
I apologise to the other Paleonet subscribers for any unwanted responses generated by it on the listserver: if you wish to criticise me, please
do so direct to my inbox, and save the other members the frustration of
having to read them! Best regards to all, whatever your views! Tony. ___________________________________ Dr Anthony Butcher S.E.E.S.
