A Modest Proposal/Family information

This post should not be taken seriously :)
This is a "timely" request for a name change - with all the debate going on
about the change of species and family names !
And I thought we were mostly hobyists and not taxonomists !
Changing all those labels to conform to new ideas . . . I'll rather stick
with the old name. (Not being American any title with "american" it it
sounds like as if I should not belong)
Taxonomists in general are very highly opinionated with their "group".
When they try to come together, there's usually a hot debate due to the
highly opinionated foundation of the field. (Nhu Nguyen)
