You've made the mistake before, as have many others, even Seth, and you might well make it again. I was actually baptized as Mark but changed the spelling in my teen-age years to the dismay of my mother -- I have a note she wrote me ten days before she died in 2003 addressed to "Mark". But Mom died happy, with her carton of cigarettes and box of wine per week, and lived to age 82. I suspect that she had picked fights with my father, my sister, and my ex-wife ten minutes after she reached the hereafter. You folks think I am contentious? Lordy! You never met my mother! The Paleozoic is a fascinating time. The Silurian is especially interesting. Marc msmall@aya.yale.edu Cha robh b?s fir gun ghr?s fir!
