Here's the long-ago thread that has the lady in a snit:
Changing One Gene Launches New Fly Species. Observe the last few posts, a few months apart. They're her periodic pings to hold
me accountable for the guy's research, and to
demand updates from me. It's obsessive, but at this stage it's little more than low-grade stalking. No big deal.

I happen to think it poor FR ettiquette to speak around someone rather than directly to them. But I'll work with it anyway.
The point of redrawing attn to that thread is the nature of the rapid generations of the fruit fly. As of September, there will be three hundred potential new generations since the original claim of "launching" a new species. Yet, no New Fly. With each generation comes a new opportunity, and a further repudiation of the claim of "speciation".
