Anyone who has ever been on a hiking trip or watched ducks in a pond knows that the leader goes in front and the followers behind, with each follower at different distance from the leader! When synchronized, a clock does not "follow" but rather matches exactly with small adjustments. So I guess that means leader/matcher? And as far as sheep dogs go, the dogs are not the leaders, but rather the farmer. Maybe we should use the terms shepard/sheep? In any case, this is just the kind of bikeshedding discussion that I want to avoid. Just to be clear, I will not accept leader/follower because it simply sounds silly.
