Museum Acronyms

[Jim Croft]

>Isn't "taxacom" an acronym for "taxonomic communication?"

It used to be a shorthand label thingy for 'taxonomic computing', a sacred
venue for erudite discussion of matters bioinformatical...  a wondrous
synergy of shared data, common technology and collective wisdom...  but
purity of noble purpose was sullied long ago...  :)
