Love this post Mario! It was great to hear (see) someone express the frustration I feel when defining myself as a "WordPress Developer" without adding thirty seconds of explanation that I don't just shop for themes and install plugins.

I don't recall you touching on this, but "those" WordPress developers are also a great source of business. While they, too, can be difficult to work with at times, they are good for repeat business once they know they have a resource for the most difficult projects.
