Harvey, your statement is equivalent to saying "If you're against the
democrats, you must be a Republican." This is not a good mailing list
for that sort of assumption. This is my last post on the meta-subject
of what Ev meant. Now let's talk about allometry.

I just did an altavista search on "allometry" and got the following page:
http://earth.ics.uci.edu/faqs/sauropods/sauropods-allometry.html

With the following title:
Sauropods, Elephants, Weightlifters: Allometry

This was a bit more specific than I was looking for!
