Do you consider it likely that the poster I replied to routinely uses the dialectal variant rackless over the common spelling reckless?

You should also consider which areas of the world use "rack" as a slang for "breasts". (I'm not disagreeing with you - as a native English speaker I didn't know that rackless and reckless were synonyms).
