Scott, please be aware that Kinman OPPOSES the PhyloCode.  This
listserver is open to anyone who wants to participate, provided the
dialog remains civil and does not degenerate into personal attacks.
I fail to see how the fact that someone promotes their personal
classification on this listserver somehow reflects badly on the
PhyloCode.
