Hold on there Ron, isn't remote area one of your pet peeves? And Footloose wasn't the Dead, lol.
I'll have to remember to always use ra and head in any post just to be THAT guy. This topic really took a left turn. How do I know left from right.... Mr. Leyton.

You all can call them hot dogs if you like as long as we all know what we're talking about. It's the French that have word nazis. I'm surprised that my Dead Head friend is the one being uber restrictive of foot loose and fancy free English. We certainly need jargon for all the specialized ways we use certain words in various occupations. My favorite is applying the street definitions of the word "theory" to specific scientific enquiry in an attempt to debunk scientific certainty (at least as certain as scientists can get) because the word is used differently in the jargon. But we all know what a head is on the forum, despite any other uses we have for it. As my own loquaciousness and use of neologisms goes straight to my head. Or perhaps I'm just playing head trips here. Maybe just the ranting of a Washington pot head. Well, guys...Gotta hit the head. Later.
