Dan Janzen's loneliness (was [TAXACOM] clade Muscomorpha)

[Lyn.Craven at CSIRO.AU]

I hope that Dan Janzen is multifaceted, because I place myself beside him too, and for the same reason that Don so excellently expressed.

For the record, should Dan Janzen feel lonely, I place myself firmly by his side. Not as anti-cladistics, but as anti-those-cladists who insist that their doubtful inferences should completely displace all other considerations in taxonomy.
