I think we are talking about the same thing.  Tip of tail is a term that 
throws me off somewhat and conjures up an image of a small tip over right at 
the end.  It, the crook,  certainly, more times than not, is at the distal 
end of the tail, but you do occasionally see it higher, which is what Robyn 
does not seem to like.  Does anyone see two crooks i.e. one right at the 
distal tip and another further up.  All the pictures I noted, the crook is at 
the distal portion along the shaft.  So semantics may have creeped in here, 
but I think we speak of the same thing.
