All this talk about titles and how (un)important they are reminds
me of a song that is currently popular on the C/W stations around 
Denver.  It's called "Up Against The Wall, Corporate Yuppie" sung
to the tune of "Up Against The Wall, Red-Neck Mother."  Has anyone
heard it?  Next time I hear it I'll write down the words and post
them.  

Whyizzit that Operators, System Administrators, and Data Entry
Clerks don't seem to have this problem of what to call themselves?
Could it be that they don't need to have their egos stroked the
way Programmers do?  (Ooo!  Am I gonna get flamed for this?)

Personally, I think that titles are a means of alternate compensation.
(Ok, Gregg.  We're making you a Software Engi...Huh?...Raise?)
