I put my reply at the top on purpose...
I think we're all agreed on the intent but I'm not sure we have the wording
nailed. "professional" is a harder word to define and agree on the definition
of, than "student" or "part-time"...
So while I'm OK with professional I am leery that it might cause trouble at some
later date... assure me it won't (and this thread is evidence of intent, in my
view, and I value intent highly) and I'm cool.
