        The above article leads to this page:

                Master/Slave
                http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/master.asp

        After reading "...someone within the County bureaucracy � a person who
probably didn't understand computer terminology � had taken offense at
'master/slave' references and complained to the board..." I couldn't help but
laugh at the idea that someone's not getting along with their dominatrix.  =D
