:Paul, point taken, although I usually call them "circuit jockies" or

Under either term, it's not really likely that they'd know how to
ride a horse. :)

Getting back to the whole "scamurai" thing though:

Even though I define Street Samurai as different than their namesake,
I find your general observation to still hold true. Whether you use
Samurai, or if you use Street Samurai as it's own concept as a ruler
to hold a character up to to be measured, most self-proclaimed
"Samurai" fall laughably short compared to either standard. I think
it's silly for a PC to call themselves "Samurai", it's a title that
only others can bestow upon them.
