RE: New terms for the TW industry

[Emru Townsend <etownsen -at- Softimage -dot- com>]

To put another spin on this: as my pappy used to say, it doesn't matter if
I'm called Black, Negro, or African.  If the other person *thinks* of me as
"nigger", then the label doesn't matter.

So yeah, call me an information developer.  But if you're that brand of
engineer or manager who thinks I don't matter squat, then the title means
nothing.
