You, and everyone else posting here, should realize that all this is
getting cross posted to two news groups: bionet.neuroscience and
talk.origins. These two groups have rather strikingly different
philosophies and traditions of posting. If you want to talk about any
aspect of the nervous system and keep it strictly on the technical
side, then stay with bionet.neuroscience (which is where I responded
from). If you want to talk about the cladistics of the
reptile/bird/mammal group (the amniotes) or do all the joking and
personal attacks and other nonsense, then please restrict it to
talk.origins where that is appreciated (and where I will also happily
participate).
