That's an extremely articulate encapsulation of what's been intuitively
nagging at me about this "separate" (but equal?) list. I'd be interested
to hear Kim's response.

I live in NYC where "artist who makes a living with their work" is too
often the preferred euphemism for "trust fund baby." Those of us who
were not born into wealth struggle to make a living any way we can, and
it's only getting harder in recent times. Of course we're going to
resent the implication that not making a living exclusively with art
makes us unworthy of being part of a professional list. 

I understand Kim's impulse for a separate list, but I think it's also
understandable that the way he expressed the list's elite nature is
really bothering people on the list.
