THe pro in r.a.[. stands for production actually, at least in the original group charter. A lot of people assume professional, but not so. THerefore, if it's relevant to capture and production of the audio we hear through these electronic boxes it's relevant to r.a.p. and hence a high ddiletante factor. > Almost everyone from a.a.p.l-s with whom I`ve corresponded or spoken > with privately, (certainly the pros) have usually proven to be quite > removed from their individual internet persona - there are one or two R> notable exceptions...

I've found that to be true for the most part, and I"ve participated in this group since it was formed.
