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

[Stephen Thorpe]

Actually, it was Rich who snuck Taxacom back in again, after having conducted an off-list conversation for a while. Like you, I just clicked "reply to all". I was unaware that taxacom was back in, but no matter.

I see that you made no comment re the ownership situation for Magnolia Press! Presumably you got that one wrong!

>At our publishers meeting in London, it came up late in the day and I did not succeed to make its relevance sufficiently clear to the person who led the meeting. It was decided that we deal with it if ever problems emerge. Of course they would and they did, but at the time, this was not clear to everybody.<

Hold on! "Publishers meeting"? What's that? "Person who led the meeting"? Who was that? So, let me see if I understand: a crucial issue relating to the proposed Amendment came up late "in THE day" and only came up at all because you thought to raise it. But since "THE day" was at an end, nobody could be bothered dealing with it! Hmmm ...

So,

Stephen

 Now this is funny again.
 You, Stephen, included Taxacom. I just replied to all :-)
 And as I said, I am out again where I should
 be.
 Oh, wait, why was the preliminary
 version issue not dealt with? At our publishers meeting in
 London, it came up late in the day and I did not succeed to
 make its relevance sufficiently clear to the person who led
 the meeting. It was decided that we deal with it if ever
 problems emerge. Of course they would and they did, but at
 the time, this was not clear to everybody. You do not have
 much experience with committee work, do you? It had nothing
 to do with Zootaxa. And yes, even if you don’t believe me,
 it had nothing to do with Zootaxa.
