The term slave carries a lot more meaning than subordinate. I replied to someone else but later realized that the person sent me their reply offlist, so my reply to them was also offlist. What I told them was, back in college (decades ago), when I first mentioned "master/slave" in conversation (I think it was about hard drives), a person in that conversation stated that those were not very nice terms to use. I blew it off back then, but after listening to more people, I found that using "slave" even to describe a device is not something that people care to hear about. And in actuality, does one device actually enslave another device? I think that terminology is misleading to begin with. -- Steve
