~~Literally even a spot bumped out on the end where they list everyone, at the very end of the paper, would be infinitely better than "et Al"~~

Uhhhhhh

Yeah I have no defense for this other than having a dumb moment.

Carry on... ^please^

It sounds like you're talking about the references, which already list all authors

Then what's the issue? Sounds to me like papers already have comprehensive credits.

Is the issue that it's displayed in two places, so people don't bother to check out the second?

That's what bibliography is. It's already like that, or am I missing something?
