Frank & List - 

While I largely agree with your point of view, sometimes research findings
are not made available until a researcher determines the most advantageous
time--according to his or her agenda--to make such findings available.
Well, I've been informed by a good source that in the case of Portales
Valley, it is not a matter of what is not known...it's a matter of what has
not yet been expressed. 

As a Portales Valley reseller, and as someone who shares your sensitivity
on this issue, please note that on the very day that my first Portales
individual arrived--shortly after the fall--it was delivered to the
American Museum of Natural History. 

Please further note that at the Portales site
http://www.theskyisfalling.com/portales/index.html, a special effort to
cater to institutional needs was made--and already three exemplary
specimens have been acquired by institutions.  

Best-
Darryl
