Immediately after citing, on this mailing, list an example relating to
Geo, he said@:

        Andy, one thing that might help for the species discussion is if
        you could cite URLs to a site or sites with millions (or even
        thousands) of clearly obvious uses of "species" terminology (not
        just offhanded references like "human being" or "plant") on
        pages.

You and others maybe, but some certainly are "attacking and shooting
down", or at least trying to - and being disingenuous, if not dishonest,
in doing so.
