Talkback What an utterly stupid and ridiculous comment! Does Joe Sandoval live in the real world, or did he just dream up this story out of pure boredom whilst at work? It's people like this that CAUSE the problems, not fix them!

Talkback Well, I suppose Mr. Joe Sandoval and the County of Los Angeles think that it's pornographic to use the terms "male" & "female" when referring to a power cord's plug end as male and the wall socket as female.

Talkback Where is the end to to all this 'Polical Correctness' gone mad and overzealous controls over our lives, etc. Perhaps the traditional use of 'male' and 'female' in the building and engineering industries should be treated in the same way !

Talkback We all most likely have better things to do with our time, than read these and send replies. But, it is coming to something when all people seem to want to do is rename everything, whether it is politically correct or not.

Talkback Perhaps they should consider using a set of terms that are more "Alternative Lifestyle inclusive". They could call them Dominant & Submissive IDE drives. I'd imagine most tech types would have no difficulty remebering those terms.

Talkback Crazy thought that Master and Slave is not PC. Some officials have too much time on their hands. What could we have instead? Male/Female? Boss/Employee? Keyboard/Computer? People/President - No that doesn't follow!
