Common Chris, it was just a joke on all the dead fish pictures in his
books. And if he wants the foot the bill to find more rainbows and
other little oddities from NG, I'd gladly let him have all the fish he
wants named after him.
For what he has done for the hobby I commend him. For his ego that
he's built along with the hobby, well that's another matter and then I
really would be bashing him.
