Why such disdain for locality snakes? Is the added bit of natural history information really that upsetting? No offence, Tony, but the fervent anti-locality sentiment is coming off looking more like a self-justification measure than anything else. There is simply no way that an interest in locality animals drove down the availability of generic stock. When you look at how few people even care about locality data and at the historical record where most locality data on stock from the “heyday” was lost or forgotten, the evidence to support your claim just isn’t there.



Taking it further, I don’t know how else I can express the fact that I don’t have anything against generic stock, and have quite a number of generic animals in my collection. My post wasn't meant to hurt feelings, step on toes, or ruffle feathers. It was just a "call to arms", so to speak, for a renewal of interest for all of us milkheads and Lamprophiles.
