[Taxacom] Ethiopian versus Afrotropical

[Jim Croft]

It *always* matters what name you use.  For anything.   Especially for
'arbitrary' entities.  Labeling concepts, 'arbitrary' and otherwise,
is what communication, and taxonomy in particular, is all about.

Can't believe I had to start my day by reading this.  First motorist
who looks sideways at me on the way to work this morning gets run off
the road!   And I'm on a bicycle!
