Maybe there were more who weren't asked enough.

Hmm. Please email me privately everything that seems remotely relevant, the
lilo.conf, the /boot/*.b files, etc.

I object to the distinction being made between us and "professionals". Ted,
Maddog, and RMS are more famous than any of us, more skillful than most of
us, and better paid than many of us, but not more professional IMHO.

I don't think you intended it to be interpreted it that way, but it's the
most common interpretation of such a statement.

I can talk on devfsd, Portslave/pppd, benchmarking (bonnie++ and/or Postal),
NSA Security Enhanced Linux, and whatever else I get into between now and
then. For all of these items I can literally prepare a talk in less than an
hour (I know the material well and have had practise at giving talks at short
notice).
