Fine. My interpretation of Amateur is a person who cannot do things in a
professional manner, a person who is interested in something, but for
lack of intelligence, skill, persistence, or talent, will never become
proficient in what they are interested in.

Therefore, everyone has to accept my definition of Amateur radio
operators as unskilled incompetents, eh? Especially since that very
thing can be found in the dictionary, not an interpretation, but as
synonymous with the word.

Now that would be sad, wouldn't it?

Names - Bah Humbug!

This is especially apropos during the winter Olympics, where amateur
athletes are competing. They look proficient to me. But then, I'm just
an amateur myself. A ham, even.
