I was having one of those headaches today when I found your post. Well said. It also got me thinking about a reference in my local newsletter that seems appropriate. It is Master Skip Chasey's keynote address to the 2008 Master/slave Conference, titled "The Rise and Fall of the M/s Community: A Cautionary Observation." And can be read as a PDF.
