Hmmm... not so sure. It's certainly not the second definition (being a
combination of "professional" and "consumer" (certainly not "tolerant
of flaws"), and as for the first, I don't really want to get involved
in the design of the product. All I want is something that does what
it says on the tin, and Smile appears to come reasonably close.

No ideas of my own? Why, I do believe I'll follow the Queen of Heart's
lead and get them decapitated. As for marketing and PR being good for
humanity, don't get me started. Though they are a step up from sales
people (for want of a better word)

And Jim, your mailhost appears to be open....

Cheers,
