Defining a "Linux Engineer"

Gads, but the word "engineer" is horribly overused.

Fun facts:  Calling yourself an engineer while not being a licensed
professional engineer is potentially illegal, as well as can get you in
deep kim che for misrepresentation.

I'm sure there are civil engineers that work primarily at waste water
treatment facilities who really get riled up over the term "sanitary
engineer" when it is applied to janitors.

As for myself, I am officially an EIT (although I've been practicing
engineering for 15 years), and One of my fields is "Systems Engineering."
On a relatively rcent job hunt, tons of companies wanted me to install and
maintain computers and networks.

Not to dis network & computer folks (I used to do that, too), but
seriously?  Thank you Microsoft for clouding up all the issues.
