Stephen, you are quite likely the most tiresome person on this board. Here
are more where those come from. I didn't cite more because it was tiresome
and Useless to do so. If two examples won't satisfy you, neither will 100.
I have done this before and you didn't pay any attention then and I doubt
you will now. You have an ability to believe what you want regardless of
what anyone says to you.
For those who might not remember, the purpose of this is to show that
Stephen's claim that longisquama's proto-feather was separated from the
first feather by so many years that it couldn't be connected with the
feather is wrong Since like gives rise to like, one can examine the record
of turtles or other animals to see the size of the gap between the first
and second occurrence of two things that ARE related! Then one can see if
the 80 million year gap between the protofeather and the first feather are
so unsual.

When you want a lot of rhetoric but little knowledge, go to Stephen.
Don't bother replying Stephen, what you say is no value.
