Re: [Killietalk] Commercial imports; what to label them?

["Ken" <ken_combs at sbcglobal.net>]

I'm not t all against codes or labeling, as anyone who has received my fish
or visited my home can testify; when it comes to labeling and "isolation",
I'm either paranoid, schitzo, or both :-) (fancy/detailed labels are my
thing!)

...anyway, the whole point of codes/labeling is genetic
integrity/identification...my crystal ball tells me; once it becomes
cheap/easy to do; labeling per DNA/genetic "Code" in some manner is the
logical way to go...all else is really moot (if indeed genetic purity is the
only reason for comprehensive labeling)  

Goals: understood we all got individual goals, but gotta admit there is some
hobby centric peer pressure & defacto unwritten/written codes of ethics
we/most follow...and those "rules" are indeed centered around some kind of
less visible goal(s),(or the behaviors these rules govern are near
pointless)...

My thoughts were: w/o a clear understanding of exactly what we are trying to
accomplish through using codes & standards, any implementation thereto is
relatively inefficient/meaningless unless the effort is concerted, widely
practiced and understood what it is we are supposed to accomplish 
..Basically, other that I.D and therefore "dollar value", I'm not really
certain

....pardon the slight soapbox journey there ;-)

Hi All, 

Sorry for continuing the beating of the horse, but maybe what is needed is a
general frame of reference.  No, not a relativistic one, but a agreed
geographic convention that can function as the base - layer for all
locations and collection data.  For example, if the geographic space is
simplified into spatial units, other than Lat & Long, we could place each
set of data for a particular collection inside the "box", even if multiple
sets  (sympatric) occur....
