Taxacom: Removals of offending scientific names

[Michael Heads]

Abba is a good name for a genus - short, memorable...  I'm grateful that
the 19th century taxonomists who named most of the genera in many groups
*didn't* use the names of contemporary pop groups, pet politicians and
other cultural ephemera. If they had, the names would now be
meaningless, and we instead we can write with future users in mind. But
preferences like this should not be law!
