Dear Eric & al.,

> Why am I having to apologize for all this mess!!!!.

Sorry if I expressed that badly. I did not want you to apologize for
anything. I just thought it would be nice if you could clarify the
rather confusing situation around "Londt" because you obviously know
the details. It would certainly be of great benefit to the cp
community if you could do so. Thank you very much for the
consideration.

Do you want to say that this kind of "nomenclature" should be
perpetuated just because it did not kill anyone in the past 20 years?
I do certainly have other views regarding this issue.

I doubt CPN can really be compared with the Playboy. Anyway, the
cited text is too long for the info conveyed (on _Nepenthes_). I do
not mind to publish it in the form of a dialogue but it should be
reduced to the relevant essentials. Would you like to do that?

Kind regards
