while others were organizing his old notes for edited hand picked trifles

Again, this is nut-job level nonsense. Most of Darwin's writings have long been available in COMPLETE AND UNEXPURGIATED editions for many years (the largest job, a complete edition of his correspondence, is well along with many volumes published), and the originals, in Darwin's own hand, have been available to scholars for decades.

Yeah ... I know this is a quote conglomeration --- big deal (( fed case )) to the trivia - psuedo science cult FR freeks (( vs freeps )) !

nut-job level nonsense

Apologies, that was overly harsh. I guess what I'm trying to express is that you come across a bit like a Darwinian gnostic: suggesting that there is some "hidden" Darwin out there, only known to the initiate conversant with the "lost books." That's how you come across to me anyway. If you have a more sober or substantive case to make than I am percieving, I would be happy to hear it.

Good. Look up his letters to John Fiske.
