Subject: Re: [regrep] Presentations and questions


Kathryn,

I am sure that none of us meant to infer that you wouldn't know the
difference...it's just that you had forwarded us the following question:
 
"Taxonomies and classifications, what's the difference?"

And we were working together as a TC to try and answer it. :)
