the Persistence of Memory

               For the longest time, I knew it as the huckster's room. You could find one at any given convention. Imagine my shock and dismay when I learned that we were not supposed to call them _huckster's_ rooms any more since the term was now derogatory (I had always thought it was both fun and unique) and that we were henceforth supposed to refer to them as _dealer's_ rooms.
               I feel a similar sense of disorientation here. Is it a critique or a beta? o0;; Which term is preferable, and can someone tell me why? Plus, does anyone know when and how this happened?
