Indeed you are a species all your own, Helmut! And every species needs a proper name. Shall it be...
Helmutia innsbruckensis, Helmut from Innsbruck
Nistersia tiroliana, the Tirolian Nistersia
Conchophilus terrestris, the land-dwelling shell-lover
Helmutnistersia conchifer, Helmut Nisters the shell-bearer
Cochleicollator insomnis, the sleepless snail collector
You could even have subspecies for different moods, as the fancy strikes you.
Cheers,
Andrew K. Rindsberg
Geological Survey of Alabama

Subject: AW: Re: Species
Dear all,
I am a species too, and what a species. And I don't have grandchildren,
even children. A full species is able to make grandchildren, but there
is no need as in human species. And a species has a lot to do with
nomenclature and the nomenclature with species. Sorry for the moment
I can't find the rules of nomenclature explaining what is a species.
On a ceertain place can be living two species but not two subspecies.
So you can see that species is more than a subspecies. Anybody
- also the most silly and slowest in the uptake (I don't know any
other word) could clearly see that Conus marmoreus and Conus
gloriamaris are two different species. So I'll close the discussiion
about species forever.
yours Helmut Nisters from Innsbruck.
