Will I ever not experience a wave of nausea when sending an email to a big listserv?

A curious 17th c site name, Wolfshave. Sounds like the makings for an unhappy wolf. Come to find out it was a transcription error. WolfSNARE. I'm a little sad to correct this.

Data folks: how do you document changes in taxonomy? We completely rebuilt our system and migrated lots of terms back in 2011, but there's no documentation, apparently.
