I'm with you on that. I can hardly understand the papers in the
professional journals. Nor can I understand much of Phil when he gets
going on genetics. And your last site (mkfenn) looks like the mutant
grandchildren of Heyerdahl, reprocessing the latest scientific
literature for their own unspeakable purposes.
