[Taxacom] PDF request

[Fabian Haas]

  Hi Stephen,

not sure what you mean with domination. In my work in the CBD and 
Biodiversity Informatics organisations, I found many people with 
background other than taxonomy: Political Science, Ecology, what not... 
So I dont see that this was true, sure some come from Museums (which 
again is no proof they would be taxonomists), so I dont see a domination.

Cheers
Fabian
