I know you're not responsible for the format, but I know you're resourceful, so I wondered if you had it via HTML. It would seem apparent that you do not trust the University's website, or that it was improperly summarized? Or is this a posturing attempt; "read the actual complicated paper, tiny creationist, like I have. Then one day you may be as smart as me."

I have Adobe Acrobat, but my computer freezes up sometimes when trying to open PDFs. I think it's succumbing to entropy. *Wink*

My comments were directed to the thoroughness of this paper and the scientific standing of its primary author. He has taken a fossil that was somewhat ambiguous and figured out where it more likely lies in the scheme of things. That is a valuable thing to do. I was not attempting to demean you at all in this thread, as you have done nothing to deserve it (but the thread's still young!).

My point was that Walpoff seems to have straightened out a very confusing find in a very difficult time period. I find his explanation, and his evidence, credible, and I have some training in the field.

If your system is freezing up, perhaps more memory or some other slight upgrade might help? Perhaps a system upgrade would do it. (I use Macs, so I don't know a thing about most other folks' problems.)

The key words there are "...seems to have...". We still know nothing here. We can only speculate, since none of us were there and the evidence is not exactly voluminous. And by "we", I include Walpoff.
