My out-of-hand comment was not directed at you specifically else I would have replied directly to you.

FWIW, language is already at Babelical proportions but that thought is best left for another post.

Well there was the holo-Leah episode, then the real Leah episode, then Gibney played another character altogether.

And so it should.

I'm enough of a nerd that I can think of at least two ST:TNG episodes with Leah Brahms. I'm not enough of a nerd to assert that there were only two such episodes.

You remind me of a story. My stepson and I were watching Star Trek TNG one night, and there was this new character named Leah Brahms. His mother walked in to glare at us for watching TV and said, "Oh that's Susan Gibney!" She had been best friends with Gibney's older sister, and had a childhood picture of herself with both sisters. We later met the older sister, a neat lady, but meeting the actress was too hard to arrange.

In reply to That's true. Counselor used

Actually, Martina Sirtis was my camp counselor. I just assumed that was true for everyone else, as well.

In all seriousness, counselor used to have a meaning similar to advisor, i.e., one that provides counsel. Now, it has more of the feeling of someone who provides comfort. That's not exactly correct, as there's still the aspect of providing advice, but the nuance of the type of advice and the degree it is expected the advice will be followed are rather different now than then.
