These types of posts are really infuriating. Please could you stop posting
to sci.anthropology.paleo (or for that matter sci.anthropology and
sci.archaeology). This newsgroup is for palaeoanthropologists, or people
interested in palaeoanthropology, their theories and ideas. If you want
controversy please post to talk.origins or talk.evolution or whatever.
Newsgroups starting with sci are for scientific discussion, not
non-evidenced, creationist ravings.

As a tip (not you Ed), if your newsreader supports screening, configure it
not to download any posts sent by Ed Conrad, as I am about to do. Oh and
and to that list add Stephen Boltinghouse. He has spammed this group twice
recently, to my knowledge, with one of those 'Make $50,000 in 4 weeks'
scams.

Regards,

Roh
