I wager that, with selection of the right region of his DNA, we could
demonstrate that Hebert is a "species of one".--

Be careful, Curtis, I merely wrote a transmittal blurb. The quotation
which you ascribe to me was from the BioMedNet article transmitted.
The author of the BioMedNet article was Henry Nicholls and the
person he quoted  is Paul Herbert. You have now archived this
error in the TAXACOM files.  (Which, previous discussions on
electronic storage discounted, will probably last forever.)

Correct attribution is always useful in keeping debates focused.
Having to write corrections such as this distracts from that focus.

Oh...and thanks, at least you didn't shoot the messenger. :-)
