Although I am probably making myself look like a fool, I am still going to ask this question:

What the bloody 'ell does WhOA mean?

I've seen it all over the forums and I assumed it was some sort of acronym but I can't think of anything that it would stand for... Ease my mental anguish please!

I thought it was a syndrome?

Well, by the direct dictionary definition it seems syndrome would be the better word to use. Although, since Dale is the one who first diagnosed the condition and considering his knowledge of such matters, I think disorder would be best to stay with.

Maybe he can futher explain the medical differences between disorder and syndrome?

Maybe it's just a disorder until you buy a couple of Copelands or Abells.... then it becomes a syndrome

(which sounds more serious to me)

I would bet Doc Jones could as Doc is not just a nickname. I am now suffering from FAD (Flute Acquisition Disorder). I actually decided that I like playing Flute a lot more and that I would also prefer to have a Bleazey Flute and not a Whsitle so I waved good bye to my Bleazey Blackwood High D and in a couple weeks I will be greeting an Ironwood Flute.
