Re: paleonet PaleoNet: Soft tissue in dinosaur bone

["T Donaho" <pbsdonah@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear PaleoNetters
I find it very discouraging that responses on PaleoNet to the "Scientists 
Find Soft Tissue in T-Rex Bone" announcement only elicit anti-ID & 
anti-Creationist (or to react positively to the negative reactions: 
pro-Evolution responses).  Has paleonet become solely an Anti-Creationist 
list; what happened to the science of Paleontology??

Thanks Allison, for your refreshing positive response to a significant find 
/ announcement!
