Thanks Nicholas. I really appricate your postings. I have Nat'l Geo, Discovery, etc on my favorites, but never remember to check them.

No need to thank me, I really find NatGeo rather disappointing in paleontology news. They rarely post it, and when they do it is usually too quick to play something off as a fact and they end up looking dumb and pulling the article. I haven't checked discovery.

I usually check Science Daily, and the BBC.
