Yes, I'd like to keep some kind of a personal archive, which includes, for instance, how many colonies I have had in the past. Also, it seems to be easier to maintain many ''things'' when they are numbered.

Yeah, I also do it so that if I find out later that something was ID'd wrong, no organization or categorization changes, just names.

As fast as his brother keeps releasing them, he is going to need 25 to end up with 1 or 2 colonies.  :D
