AAAA HA HA HA!!!

It's funny cause it's true!  : )

Anyway.  That's the technical definition, sure.  But check this:

My condo is getting new windows.  The whole building is.  The
<i>contract</i> was for the project to be started in May.  They started in
July.  They suck too.  They did two floors of windows, then went on a
vacation.  Their work was messy - cracked glass everywhere, grime everywhere
the glass wasn't.  They're STILL doing the job.  The windows suck too.

Technically, they are professionals.  But in reality, they're a bunch of
amateur laborers who do a bad job and I would never hire them.  But they are
professionals.

Same thing with these amateur frontpage web gurus.  They're professionals.
They probably have a very nice ad in the yellow pages too, but they still
suck and they rob the business away from the REAL guys.

PS:  I think my window story would qualify as off topic...  : )
