David, to me, the jabberwocky is proof that the label is absurd.  And in the 
end, the defense of it is always a weak lob:  "Well then, you tell ME what it 
should be called."

Bob yesterday:   "I don't say everybody in Wilshberia writes the same."


Bob today:  "The problem is all the teams wear the same uniforms."

Etc., etc.  . . . .  I said I would likely regret bringing up the absurdity of 
the "Wilshberia" label, since this kind of jabberwocky is what always results. 
 Mea culpa.
