Yes Kent, thank you for your input.
It helps us (or me at least) to keep it all in perspective. I'm one of the ones Tom was talking about who wants to find a box for everything...so I can get my database accurate and have my irises listed properly. But when it comes to iris color pattern definitions it is now apparent that that is just not possible because clear definitions don't exist...and if I'm guessing right they really can't because as soon as you define it someone comes up with new patterns that don't fit the mold.
Oh well, the analyst in me will just have to live with the ambiguity!!
