I'm just curious to find out how many professional bread bakers read
and/or contribute to this message board.


Baking is a trade, not a profession, or, to most of us, a hobby. The
professions are law, clergy, and medicine, and, colloquially, prostitution.
It is true that crooks, politicians, and many others today consider themselves
to be "professionals". Just goes to show how low the language has sunk.


... In fact, I don't know a single professional who knows even half as much
as some of the posters here.


You seem conflicted.


I just want to know if this message board still has some of the pros who
used to post here a few years back.


Mention some -- we'll try to dig them up.
