All I'm saying, is if you recognize that a word is potentially costing you contributors, why wouldn't you change it if there is another word that is just as good?
I'm just trying to be practical, not trying to force PC-think down anyone's throat.
- rhodysurf 11y agoRight, but in this case master slave often describes the relationship between computer devices better than anything else. The slave device has no choice of what to do other than what a master device sends it. Leader and follower doest quite capture that as well in my mind.
- untothebreach 11y ago> has no choice of what to do Tell that to the MySQL cluster I inherited at my last job ;-). In all seriousness, I have to disagree with you, in that I think leader/follower captures the relationship fine. But at this point, I think "whether the word captures the relationship" is very subjective.
