Hi, Pandion.

That would be really nice if that were how you presented the argument.
Admittedly, there were alternatives that would have been clearer.
I'm sorry that it offends you so much that I chose not to use them.

I did
not challenge Peg's argument about the usefulness of index fossils: I challenged his presentation of the argument. What is the difference between the statement, "They found two types of pigs in one region" and the statement, "I found fifty types of spiders in one field"?
I did not know what Peg was talking about. I tried a few Google searches on "Omo Valley pig fossils" and what-not, but I couldn't find anything informative within the reasonable timeframe of my lunch break.
Does it not upset
you when somebody posts something and forces you to do all the work to figure out what they're talking about?
I'm sorry that I let my annoyance dictate the tenor of my response to Peg.

Edited by Bluejay, : Deleted other mean stuff, too: it was embarrassing to read, anyway. Sorry, Pandion
