I don't call those people engineers, and any self-respecting
broadcaster would not, either.  Those are board operators.  In TV the
same function is called a TD or technical director, or simply a
switcher.  A TD would be laughed out of the control room if he called
himself an engineer.

I'm mystified as to why this topic was crossposted to 4 disparate
newsgroups with little relation to each other.  I don't even know who
any of the respondents are, except for Phil Kane.
