Hi oldherper,

Perhaps your right. It is ridiculous, but on the other hand serious working herpers and taxonomists still have to do the work and get no credits on the name... I guess this sort of abuse is not what the ICZN thought of when publishing the code.

Now for my proposal...I want to propose a change in Taxonomy for the Eastern Indigo Snake from Drymarchon couperi to Coolsnakeus oldherperi. Whaddya think? I don't have any supporting data, but apparently that's not a prerequisite anyway.

Ok, you try and publish your proposals and we give you a laugh

Cheers from Germany *smile*
Wulf
