No apologies or ducking necessary, Harro - I tend to use as many names as
possible so that people know what I'm talking about... names tend to be a
bit transient sometimes.

My earlier point applies - it doesn't *really* matter what they're called as
long as we use a common reference point, and breed like to like always. As
long as we all call them the same name. The scientific community will no
doubt tell us what they're called this week ;) ;)
