Sorry, sometimes hard to interpret tone via email. :)

Okay :) I don't think we have a substantitve disagreement.  I agree
that the label is something that is not an intrinsic property of a
skill set.  And although labels don't necessarily indicate anything,
and although i do believe (just as you indicated) that if one thinks
IA is important that one should incorporate it into what they do, that
titles can be meaningful or useful as Donna pointed out previously.
