I've yet to meet another ABD/PhD *fizzy* on sci.anthro, but perhaps
there are some lurking out there??? As my primary is bio-archy, I do
find a few more of them, at least, on sci.arch (though Arch-L and
Anthro-L are far more appropriate places for useful professional
discourse.)

As Usenet newsgroups are a forum for professionals and interested
non-professional to discuss their ideas, I would hazard a guess that
the majority of subscribers have, at a maximum, a few courses, or
perhaps a BA in the field. Some, I suspect Mr. Firl for one, have even
less than that.
