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.

Thanks,
Richard
