OMG, I was bored and fiddeling around with dictionary.com and I typed in the word \"Rogue\" and look what I got:

Rogue
n.
1. An unprincipled, deceitful, and unreliable person; a scoundrel or rascal.
2. One who is playfully mischievous; a scamp.
3. A wandering beggar; a vagrant.

EH?

No I didn\'t. Quite interesting. I wonder why Stone Labs would give their product such a shameful name.

My understanding is that Stone Labs produced the pfoduct for someone else. The company they produced it for gave it the name Rogue Male. Somewhere along the line, the company went under or the deal fell through or something, and Stone was stuck with all the RM prouduct it had produced for someone else.

Then, Bruce came along and bought up the RM that had already been produced.

I\'m sure my details are a bit off, but this is essentially where the name came from.

Ok, a rogue is also someone who is independant and strong minded, does thier own thing. This is actually quite a good \"alpha\" analogy.

Always thought it referred to someone who didnt go along with the norm of society. Could explain some types around here.
