From my point of view, no insults taken, just healthy debate.

So, if Hypo is color and abby and Bob's babies being hypo and abby should not have their own name after Bob has refined them, then it would follow the same logic to say:

Tom Burkes "Lipstick" line is also incorrectly labeled? After all it's "only" a Kahl albino that has been refined into great looking ones.
(Sorry Tom, no offense intended and IMO Lipstick is clearly a valid line)

When folks take the time and effort to work a project that takes a morph to a higher level, why should they not be allowed to label the product of all their efforts? If you don't agree with the line name or think they are no better than Billy-Bob-Joe's hypos, Then buy from Billy-Bob Joe and call them hypo's. Don't we all (many) call out some of our higher end boas by who produced them? Like my pair of VPI F2 Jungles produced by Mark Hauge or my 2005 Summit Pastel Salmon.

Blink, light came on......
One ppoint you may have missed is that Cyclone, while working very well with Hypo is NOT hypo. Bob has several examples of more extreme Cyclones that are not hypos.

The fact this latest litter was not super aberrent and not many normals (mostly hypos) does not mean Cyclone is always associated with hypo.
