you probably simply dont want to be called anything.
Rick sais there is a name for this "disease" :-)
I dont need a title for your style of profession, because I
understood what you do.
Since others call themselves professional loopers, the expression exists.
Since you are a professional writer (oh sorry, probably you dont
think you are :-) and you dont care about definitions of new words,
why should I.
Probably my sickness :-)
a waste of electrons? no, not for me, thank you!
