Here we go again Paintedwolf. Seriously, do you not have anything better to do that peddle your nonsense. I am not referring to other threads. What you have not done is told us which bird ancestry you throw your hat behind and why. People here have seen you repeat your self on numerous occasions and this is not a problem for you when you actually have provided a response to any challenge, which you haven't in this case.
I can assure everyone that with Paintedwolf and my history, PW enjoys to shove it up me...and most certainly would have re quoted anything I missed. As one can see all she says now is that she has already answered but she certainly hasn't articulated her answer to this challenge, here or anywhere else. One of her replies was to paste up a shark or something as the best response she could provide pages and pages ago.
Your cohorts likewise, were they to read a reply from you to this question, would also shove it up me again and again. They didn't and haven't, why? Because there has been no answer from PW, as yet. PW will not want to back a side in case she is incorrect. The alternative is to back neither meaning, she is unable to discern a difference in the robustness of the evidence for either hypothesis.
You PW, cannot articulate a reply, and have not done so. Such is the nature of parrot fashion replies you generally provide, without understanding.
Looking from the outside in, it is like watching a circus. You PW, and your cohorts, do not care if birds came from dinos or from gliders. In fact you will roll with whatever you are told regardless of your lack of understanding of the science or evidence behind it.
