Dudes, take a step back. People need groups (for identity creation and support), professions need recognition (for money and power, basically). The "Information Archtitects" group was pretty good at this. The "Interaction Design" group is doing it's best, but less successfully to be honest. Other groups haven't done so well - "Knowledge management" comes to mind - who calls themselves that anymore?
