I have to say as well that tailboard "back in the day" was the best ever. We used to have arguments as to got to ride board and who drove.
The good ole days!!

Of course you're correct. I'll vent a little whine so others in the group can get used to some of the newer terms. The 'new' designation (past 6-7 years) of contained is, 'it's OUT' as opposed to the 'old school' meaning simply "we got it surrounded or stopped forward progress'. I've even used the phrase "Shaky containment" which meant exactly that "We got it, but I ain't so sure how well (don't cancel units just yet)". 'Under control' meant exactly what is says (It ain't goin' nowhere). Sometimes newer isn't better. Mean what you say and say what you mean, contained used in the current fashion is vague. I don't like it, but that's life. I'm not playing anymore but I still pay attention. From: Louis N. Molino, Sr.

It's on an island. By default it's contained. (levity).
