+ I guess that I'd have to answer that a phrase like "Panhandle 
+  Hooker" conveys very little real information to the "ignorant" public. 

As with most terms, it requires a definition. I understood, nearly 
instinctively, what you mean by the phrase. I suspect a number of
laypersons understand what an "Alberta Clipper" means, at least up in
the north country. Or the Weather Channel crowd...

+  It also borders on sensationalism, which is what I find less than useful.

In what way?

Listserve's removed from the newsgroups line...are the regional newsgroups
_really_ necessary? Followups.

James - no, we're _not_ discussing women of dubious morality from the
        Panhandle...
