Ray,

Confused?? You told me that you intended naming the Australian population as Chondropython covacevichae last year! Quite frankly Ray, it is you that must be "confused", but others may forgive me for thinking that you are a little too liberal with the truth in this matter. When I told you that I intended naming this population as new nearly two years ago now, I willingly acceded to your request that I refrain from doing so, because you had stated that you had already described it, and your paper was "in press". That you have classified this population as merely a new subspecies only reinforces my belief that you know nothing at all about the taxon, and that you merely bluffed me out of the way so that you could fix a name on it. If you were so desperate for new species to describe, all you had to do was ask Ray, and I would have been happy to give you scores of new taxa to name. You are pathetic, just pathetic.
