The loud sound of backpeddling.... 

First I must apologize for the way I composed my post regarding Mike's
opinion on the K-T impact. I was pressed for time and rushed a (too) quick
and sad attempt at a generalized summary of what Norm has rightly called "a
complex" issue.  After rereading the aformentoned post I was just as appalled
 at the way I came across.  My attempts a demostrating a _possible_
relationship between an impact and the ecological consequences was feeble and
I included the wrong group of mammals (placentals) when I meant to say
marsupials to say the least. So before, any more of you have a baby, I
retract the post, apologize for _unintended_  "disinformation" and vow to
never " bang out a blurb and run " again. I still do howver, accept the
impact as the probable culprit of the K-T extinctions,  and repectfully
disagree at that point. I stand thoroughly chastised!
