SV: "Gwangisaurus" - possible?

["Tommy Tyrberg" <tommy.tyrberg@norrkoping.mail.telia.com>]

There has never been anything anyone can do about it. Linnaeus the
father of biological nomenclature named a number of plant genera after
botanists. However for botanists he disliked he choose noxious weeds.

This is probably plainer text than before...

Any such lawyers could simply go cheney themselves (or each other if 
they prefer). And so, BTW, can whoever was the environment minister of 
Turkey in 2005 (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4328285.stm). The 
International Code of Zoological Nomenclature 
(http://www.iczn.org/iczn/index.jsp) doesn't contain any such 
restrictions. If you don't like a validly published name, too bad for
you.

(...Furthermore, an anonymous BBC journalist can go cheney themself for 
capitalizing species and subspecies names. But I digress.)

Oh, BTW: ther_OOOOO_pod.
