Peter, what would your response to the following be?
"The HTML Writers Guild is not a professional one, but
an educational one -- by design, by charter, and by
our legal/tax classification. The Guild caters to a
diverse membership, ranging from hobbyists, to those
employed in other occupations who do web design on
the side, to educators and students, and others. The
'true professionals', in terms of 'those people paid
to professionally design web pages', may indeed be in
_minority_ in the HWG. How does your stand on
'professionalism' apply here, and in practical terms,
what do you intend to do regarding 'professionalism'
in your role as a GB member?"
