Brian,



Thanks for the info. The CNAH is an important step in universal acceptance, but I will point out that there are other international bodies that also have to accept it.



I know that for all of us, this topic is difficult. There seem to be very distinct groups trying to have their differing systems used to define species. Until all of this gets worked out in science, we will have arguments about the names that are used. Please note, that when you get into subspecies, the subject gets even murkier. There are many out there that think the concept of subspecies should be done away with entirely.



Rick
