[Taxacom] Angiosperm origins: Darwin's "abominable" mystery

[John Grehan]

Yes but one cannot tell, in advance, the wags from the dips as people
response this way with all seriousness. There was one learned fellow on
this list a couple of years ago who responded that even blind pigs can
find truffles (or something to that effect) and was quite serious about
that. But don't worry; I don't lose any sleep over these things.

John, I'm merely a wag, cracking wise in the back of the room.  Don't
take these things so seriously ...
