It would now seem the relevant question is:  Does anyone know of
a discussion list where taxonomic matters are discussed?

As there are only 4 or 5 people carrying on the 'grammar' dialogue
why don't they do it in private?    ...or on one of the numerous lists
devoted to writing, syntax, grammar, etc.?
