Re: [Killietalk] N. Korthausae Mafia Island Locations

[Fred Behrmann <athensaquatics at juno_com>]

Hi Marge, Talk about being a "racist". We are ALL Homo sapiens; some of
us are of the black skinned form and others are of the Caucasian (whitey)
form, while others are of the yellow skinned form ( red colored form
being a particular attractive form of the yellow skinned form). Another
particularly good color form is the hybrid color form by crossing the
black skinned form with the white skinned form ( Halle Berri). These are
sometimes referred to as "mulattoes". The different location codes being
tippicly (sic) ,Africa ( B) Finland (C), China (Y). I myself am perfectly
happy to NOT bring a "splitting" process into the code. I guess you would
call me a "lumper". Most, highly respected scientists, do not bring Gods
life forms below the species level. 
        However , we in the killifish world while not ever wanting to be
called "elitists" will continue to use collection codes to keep more of
Gods creations "pure". Where have we heard that before?    Fire away
guys, I'm asking for it!  Sincerely, Fred Behrmann
