The "Hoser review" of the genus Thamnophis...

Hey Stefan... I'm bored of my job as a gamer... Can I get a job being a fireman assistant? I don't know exactly what I'd do but I'm bored.

I bet the book's written in crayon.

Nah, maybe in those big crayola markers. To simulate ink, so he can have a big boys book. Not a little kids book. He wants to act like he's older so that mommy will be more proud of his book with lots of made up names and professionalism.

Some of the world's great scientists were persecuted and denounced by their peers during their lives - I hope that Hoser doesn't see the criticism he receives as being some kind of prelude to everyone coming around in future centuries and saying, "you know what, that Hoser guy was right, isn't it a shame he wasn't accepted when he posted online".

I still find it incredible that he claims that his work has been peer-reviewed, and yet none of those peers who have reviewed and accepted his work as correct are willing to be named. What does that tell me? Either these peer-reviewers don't exist, or they don't actually agree with what has been "published" in the AJH.

Yeah. It's worth remembering that so are the worst.

Does it matter whether we've read the AJH? The issues I have are about the credibility of said "journal" and the lack of verified peer review of the stuff you write. Get yourself published in a real peer reviewed journal (rather than one where you are the author, editor and publisher) and people may take note - I can't believe that Nature haven't come knocking on your door to get the low down on this huge animal classification story.

Hey I'm not that familiar with taxonomy and I don't really care to be, with that being said, can you put up some pics of your snake collection?

The "Other Pets" thread would be the place for that. Please.

Nope. Not going to, either.

Maybe if someone with even a little credibility starts citing them, but we both know I might as well train my eyes to the sky in anticipation of a flying pig invasion.
