This is what comes of me being surprised John Barnes' post was not called "get off my lawn"

Good news for Martian colonists!

Crowding may not be an immediate issue!

Huh

ISFDB entry for Them Bones has this:

Place 	Year and Award 	Category
29 	1985 Locus 	Best SF Novel
5 	1985 Locus 	Best First Novel
Nomination 	1985 Crook 	Compton Crook Award (Balticon - Best 1st Novel)
Nomination 	1985 Dick 	Finalists


Did they not care about Waldrop's 1974 collaborative novel?

Them Bones by Howard Waldrop

I apologize for the folly of thinking I should soldier on with this review despite being filled with anti-histamines.

“Tell them Death is God now; he is alive, he is walking.”

WHY

When I began to google 'get off my lawn' did google suggest 'get off my intern"?

For the record

The anonymous posts on the rh/wf/bs thread have a variety of IPs, not just one or two. Anyone who claims otherwise is mistaken or lying. And probably should explain how they supposedly can see the IPs.
