Dear wwh:

My "compliment" to you and Vika resents being called Left-handed.

The word "professional" is a useful term that functions well when describing the expertise, the experience, or the dedication of knowledgeable individuals, but when used self-discriptively by a group that has simply been trained, i.e., doctors, lawyers, etc., it mostly serves to strive for an air of class distinction that is unearned.

But heck, I quibble. I concede the point.
