Dear all,
 
hope you didn't misunderstand my joke, as it was only a joke.
I only want to note the Linnaeus was a very diligent (or is there
another word for it), who described a lot of animals and plants
for the first time. But this was at this time easier, too, as he could
invent the scientific names for the first time. Today there are
some problems to find right names as the selection becomes
smaller and smaller.
with best regards Helmut from Innsbruck
