Is anyone suspicious that Netadict Bonnie Jean (What's that Jackson
song?) might really be Mr. Potato Head or worse Gabby or ][<en?

Bonnie,

Preservation is populated by more people who are more fun to be with
than the alternatives.  There's an easy self-effacing confidence in this
little niche.  There's a good deal more respect between amateur and
professional than might be found in other niches.  And there is a a vast
array of hyphenated-professionals.  There would be no joking about your
profession if we were not accepting the possibility that there might be
a contribution of value made by a "Preservation-Therapist". Why not?  We
have preservation-architects, preservation-engineers,
preservation-carpenters, preservation-beaurocrats, preservation-masons,
and so on.  I once went looking for a preservation-accountant.  I failed
at the time.  I concluded that I'd have to find an accountant and make
him/her a preservationist...alas, it was not to be.

(Besides, some of these folks are real head cases and need all the help
we can give them.) -jc
