Gene, I am thrilled for you,  after the contributions you give to us all about this topic only makes me feel you deserve this even more. People talk about a first discovery and the amount of discoveries they have and I always feel it is amazing just to be able to recognize "something not seen before" and send it in ONLY to find your keen eye was right, I am amazed at those, including you now, who have the dedication, knowledge, and patience to follow through on being told you have a WINNER, I applaud your constant help you give others and wish you well, Congrats on your discovery coin, Be Well, Mike.... |

Do they name these guys after the inventors?
Something like Alladinus Lampus?

Congrats, the first discovery is always special. Quote:

Something like Alladinus Lampus? To be honest I am not sure how certain VAM's get their names. For example the Bearded Lady and such but as far as I know they are not "named" after the person that discovered the VAM and LVA just assigns a number to the new discovery no name attached to it, so that is a good question on how these certain VAM's actually get their "name" |
