re Whom is the Who
Scott, Re:

Fine.
But just to see that others might have difficulties with that simple a formula
like yours, consider the following (hypothetical) cases:
(1) Roger and John tour together with Pete and a drummer. However, to take
care of Pete's hearing problems, the electric guitar is barely audible in
the mix.
(2) Roger and John tour together with Pete and a drummer. Pete only plays
acoustic, so they have an additional electric guitarist.
(3) Roger and John tour together with Pete, a guitarist and a drummer.
Pete plays keyboards only.
(4) Roger and John tour together with a drummer and a guitarist recommended
by Pete. Pete appreciates the tour in public and urges old and new fans to
go and see The Who.
(5) Roger and John tour together with a guitarist and a drummer. Pete
doesn't care.
(6) Roger and John tour together with a guitarist and a drummer. Pete
publicly calls them a `cabaret act'.
So, in which case is the band still The Who? And in which case is there `no
Pete'?
