Ironically, I doubt whether even a highly paid PR
consultant could have generated as much sympathy
and respect for the hardworking folks at the
Smithsonian than Mr. Conrad has with this
ridiculous post.

>>>I was particularly intrigued by one of your specimens which

>>>Based on our vast ignorance about vulconology, as regards
