[Taxacom] Misleading website on scientific names

[Mary Barkworth]

YES!  Don't write to this list staying someone should write - WRITE!  You are someone. I did not because I know nothing about animal names.  Thank you Dick J. I have frequently sent comments back to the owners of web sites, often about minor matters (spelling errors). I nearly always receive a thank you note, sometimes with an explanation.

Seems to me the simplest thing to do is to contact Mr. Lewis and give 
him some advice.   I just sent him an e-mail advising him of the 
concerns expressed on Taxacom (no names mentioned).  If he replies, I will let you know.

Cheers,
