William, If I implied, if what I wrote gave the impression, that I 
thought you believed mice and dinosaurs to be contemporaneous or was 
predicating my posting on such a belief on your part, then I 
apologize. I did not intend to imply such a thing or give such an
impression.

(What Mr. Bradbury thinks, on the other hand, is of very little 
concern. Fabulous writer though he is, he has occasionally shown a 
rather contemptuous attitude toward matters of scientific accuracy
that leads me to believe that he wouldn't have a clue what kinds of
mammals did or didn't show up before the dinosaurs died out, unless
maybe he got it from Disney's film DINOSAUR.)
