I may well have fallen into at least one of the above ( albeit briefly and before learning the answer).
Apologies

Do you call yourself an IT professional?
Or is it a hobby? If it's a hobby fair enough. If you're a "pro" what kind of pro and which one didn't you know so I can let the hate filled bile commence....

In my defence (here goes)
I was an IT professional but my early career skills were acknowledged as being more in the delivery of the product, the support, the client management and translation of stuff for 'proles'. I made this very clear and worked with some technically brilliant folk who weren't so hot at the actual being professional bit so as a team we worked well. Also I made plenty of effort to be up to speed whenever I did have gaps in knowledge and went on to do lots of Cisco work and the such. I didn't pretend to be something I wasn't, I know my limits, I am not a danger to anyone any more!

Is it wrong that I can see you saying this
at an "IT Anonymous" meeting?

Now that you say it, it does feel like that.
I am number5 and I have been on the wagon for 8 years.
