It's not that weird, I've seen some *coho names around the internet - I believe it's <a href="http://www.landbigfish.com/fish/fish.cfm?ID=98" rel="nofollow">a kind of salmon fish</a>...I've also seen trout and possibly another fish version out there. Thanks for the reply, I'll add QualitativeCoho to the keywords to help others find this page. heh, I cleaned up your second post as well, because it looked a little double pasted too…hopefully it’s more accurate as to what happened.
