I do not agree about the master/slave idiocy. These terms have been used for ages in the IT universe, and never once have I come across someone who insinuated racism. What about "server", does that not insinuate that there once were serfdom? Or "protocol", we are all on a spectrum now, that old fashioned way of thinking triggers me!

Not one step back, or they will rip us apart.
