PDD-Fed, ...With regard to your initial suggested analogy, perhaps you might care to ask JAMA if they think your comparison is reasonable.  Perhaps they will consider you and your colleagues professionals of equal stature...right ;) .  I wouldn't bet the ranch on it though if I were you, nor do I think a survey of the citizenry regarding your two groups would jive with your present notions of comparability.  I realize you and your colleagues desire some respect, but I'm afraid for the time being you're the Rodney Dangerfields of professional wannabes.

Now c'mon.  I didn't ask for insults... :'(  I simply made the comparison that like JAMA, the APA journal presents relevant research as well as fowards the interests of the community it serves.  In fact, if you were to compare the two publicications, you would find that JAMA is far more commercial and political in content than the APA journal.
