Novi, MI Posts: 2608 | This is an oxymoron, for sure. :-) Could we get away with calling it humor of a higher "order"...Ouch! And I promised to stop and should of while I was ahead...;) Thanks again! | |

Guelph, Ontario Posts: 20 | Spence, I enjoy your wisecracks, and do understand your frustration with all the name changes. I've only been in the mayfly taxonomy business since the late 90's and I find myself calling species by the "wrong" name all the time. Hopefully, the combination of morphology, DNA, and other lines of evidence will allow us to achieve some sort of stability, at least until the next whiz-bang technology comes along ;) jeff | |

Bottom line, when you and I are standing knee deep in the river somewhere, we can grab a bug out of the air and still figure out what to tie on the business end of our leader. I love reading you bug boys and can keep up fairly well unless G has had his Wheaties this morning and has put a serious dent in a whole pot of coffee...;) Keep up the good work! Spence | |
