Thanks, Tom:
You're being openminded, fair and decent.
That's a switch (in these newsgroups).
I'd say there's plenty of evidence available at
http://www.access.digex.net/~medved/conrad/conmain.htm
to back up my big mouth.
As for your suggestion that my specimens be subjected to
interpretation by a ``refereed" journral, I can only remind you
of the rather eloquent words of my late friend, Clayton Lennon.

Tom, do you really think I'd get a fair and honest assessment of my
discoveries in a ``refereed" journal? That's the biggest joke of all.
As for reminding me of Carl Sagan's comment, "Extraordinary claims
require extraordinary evidence," please inform Carl Sagan that HE
ought to practice what HE preaches.
He's another turkey who's been gobbling greenbacks for years
at the trough of evolutionary horse manure and pseudo-science.
Incidentally, there's no truth to the rumor that Carl Sagan is an
egomaniac who wears a Size 8 3/4 hat. His habberdasher once told me
-- in strictest confidence -- that he's only a Size 8 1/2.
