[Taxacom] Important note Re: two names online published - one new species

[Stephen Thorpe]

LOL! I guess I was too busy trying to survive and continue doing something positive for biodiversity research, with approximately zero funding, and I may have naively put too much faith in the ability of the Commission to do its job properly! We live and learn ...

 Yes, of course it should
 have.  That's why there was a nearly FOUR YEAR period
 of public review.  You had access to the draft amendment
 during this public review period, and given that your
 interpretation of the Code is far superior to anyone
 else's interpretation, you carried a greater
 responsibility than the rest of us to ensure the draft was
 perfect.  As such, all of these problems we are discussing
 now are largely your fault.
