Gunthar, I'm going to have to disagree with you on this. Adamantius is
still a Chef, just as I am still a Farrier. No, neither of us are
active right now, for various reasons, but both of us have functioned
as professionals in our fields of endeavor, which takes both of us
beyond being hobbyists. I ride horses for fun- I shoe them (or
nowadays, occasionally consult on shoeing them, since my knees are
shot) for money. Being inactive currently does not take away the years
we spent as professionals.
