Come to think of it, maybe there should be some sticky post in the "collection sites info" subsection admonishing posters to keep their site info as vague as possible. People can always PM the poster for more details, which the poster can then filter as needed, but it would keep some unregistered badguy from getting some too-useful info before the post could be found and edited by a moderator.
As for the longnose/orangefin thing, last Easter when Todd was down in my area we found a bunch of stuff in the Yellow River, among them Florida Sand Goby ( which we at first thought was Naked Sand Goby ) Silverjaw Minnows ( which Todd thought would make excellent research subjects for a genetic study which was recently done, proving a new species ) and what we thought were Orangefins, but turned out to be Longnoses. It turns out the two are separated almost at the AL/MS state line and don't much overlap, at least according to the book we read. by the way, the Mettee book is nice, but the new Boschung book...hooboy. You gotta get it.
