And you use the word 'enthusiast' as somewhat of an insult. I'd take an enthusiast, a passionate so-called amateur any day over the beige sludge most of the corps pump out as entertainment to feed the drooling tv-coma masses. Enthusiasm is to be lauded, applauded, not derided and scorned.

No, I use the term enthusiast to mean someone who produces creative works but does not do so as a job. They may make a token amount of money from it, but it isn't their main way of living. It's a hobby. Amateurs are simply people with the same skills as professionals, only they do not do it as a job.
