- What a dinosaur the size of Compsagnathus? A cute little number which, by

- Hmmmm. Might I suggest that you move away from your computer screen, open
- a window and take a deep breath. Take a peek outside. Look at the
- sky, the roads, the trees (if they have any near you). That sort of yucky
- stuff outside is _reality_. Check it out, it works for me. Now look back
- at your computer screen. That is Usenet. Learn to tell the difference -
- it may be very important for you to do so later in life.
