All,

I have mentioned this a couple of times in the past also, and I know
Richard Hull has mentioned it too.  I agree it's only right to give credit
where it's due.  Names such as the RQ gap seem to take on a life of
their own and become a descriptive term.  The name transition would
be eased by using a format such as TCBOR (RQ) gap, or something
similar for clarity during name transition.
