    The same guy posted on RFUK, seems he has a bit of history as being a little egotistic, "publishing" findings his own online journal (aka his personal website) and trying to claim that his findings mean that he can rename not just species, but genus, with his crazy, made up names. I thought his post was a late April Fools joke when I read it.

    I believe that the ICZN list should be considered the definitive list. Changes are peer-reviewed before being accepted.

    Yeah, I was going with the European shorthand version. I spent 16 years moving around Air Force bases as a kid though so to quote James Michener "the world is my home." All I know of Iowa is rolling hills, corn, and "the Music Man."
