This whole thing has made me wonder what exacly is it that we *value*
in all the things we do; the title, or the work? And here's the thing;
why the *hell* does it matter? An information architect architects
information. Want a title? Get a doctorate or a PhD.

My story in coming to IA is long and bouncy. I'm not an IA by wanting
to solve a given problem in certain fields accompanied by a long hard
education with letters added to my title and such. It came through
seeing the need and a want to do things better.

BTW, if anyone here wants to suggest that I'm not an IA because I
don't have the correct papers for it, step forth because I could use a
good laugh right now.
