[Taxacom] ORCHID ID

[John Grehan]

Quite a few journals now require an Orchid ID and a couple of times now
when I have attempted to get onto the Orchid website it has been down due
to maintenance. This seems to be a pathetic situation where something is
made a necessity (another layer of bureaucracy in the web oriented world of
science) and yet the provider cannot even be relied upon to be consistently
accessible. Just wondering if any others have had this problem. Sorry to
vent.
