Hi David,
Would your original statement have been more correct if written as '... an unfortunate consequence of scientific journal enthusiasm'?
All the best,
Lance

Subject: EXTERNAL: [NatureNS] Fairy rings: a correction
Dear All, Oct 16, 2013
In my e-mail of Oct 11 I said "Calling such vaguely ring-like growths fairy rings is an unfortunate consequence of internet enthusiasm."
I see now, in a paper which Steve brought to my attention (Danin & Orshan), that the term fairy ring has been used to refer to any roughly ring-like arrangement of plants for many years; at least back to1935.
