[Taxacom] ORCHID ID

[Brian Taylor]

I too find the system confusing and difficult. An unmentioned problem, possibly not with Orchid but certainly with some other such sites/services, is that an institutional email address is required. In a career mostly on contracts and, in any case long “retired”, I have no formal institutional links and why should I? Charles Darwin was independent!!!
