Re: paleonet question marks in taxonomic names

[Phil Bock <pbock@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yet another comment on question marks
When preparing and using digital databases, adding question marks before 
the relevant name (or using quotes in some cases) makes it more 
difficult to do quick alphabetic sorting.
In my own database, I push the question mark after the genus or species 
as appropriate.
Of course, a purist would use a separate data field(s) for using queries 
of the various types, but the design then becomes a lot more complex.
