I don't want to go into this debate because some people get quite heated. I take nothing away from you either Paul, you've studied hard to get your qualification and you've a right to defend what you've earned. Over the years I've had Engineer and Architect in my job title in various positions but to be honest I don't really care what you call me (easy tiger ).

It's just an easy way of describing the fact that I design various IT technologies. Technology Architect is an industry recognised method of doing this.

In the US and in Aus the Engineering society's started lawsuits for the very same reason - not being allowed to use the title Engineer. I'm not sure how either turned out (because I don't really care) but I guess it would be interesting.

Does that make sense?
