Exactly, so the response to the poll can really be only one. ""Some are and some not"", as the case in any occupation or job in this world. There are serious ones and there are "not so" serious ones.

However, my initial posts only referred to "whether the occupation in general was considered to be a professional one" by the typically understood definition of a "professional occupation", regarding rights, liabilities, licensure, qualifications, malpractice and good practice, etc. That is why I responded "No", in the poll.

It did not mean that I act "unprofessional "when I KJ,
or that anyone on here does. But put simply, it is not a professionally recognized occupation and therefore we have little protection from "impersonators", and also have little liability to worry about either.
