And no, the merit is not merely in putting an ad in craigslist, it's everything else behind and what they are seeing in potentially coming from it.
But lets not worry about that, more fun just to trash them and elevate our own status right?
Well, I'm not a working professional photographer so I don't really have a dog in this fight, however, if someone is calling himself a professional then I believe the professional community, of which this person claims they are a member, has a right to weigh in on the descriptor. After all, those professionals have a vested interest in protecting the reputation of the profession. Otherwise, to say one is a "professional" loses any sort of significant meaning.
