Jay, I concur.  Although there are those vodkatini lovers who do want an 
olive, because they think that they are drinking the genuine article.  
As for Ralph's post, I completely agree with you about terminology.  It 
really bothers me that an establishment makes a drink, sticks "tini" on the 
end of the name, serves it in a cocktail glass, and it's a martini.   I won't 
go so far as to say that a martini with vodka isn't a martini.  At least it 
doesn't have any liqueurs or fruit juices in it.  But I digress.
Have a good one.
David
