To decry the
notion that you're "just one data point" entirely misses the
point of what a "market" or a "mailing list" is. There's
nothing
wrong with being a well-known or respected expert, but you can't
forget that there's no certification involved.
Actually, there is a certification process, at least in some areas. Around
here, NYU has a program I have been thinking of taking (my Aunt and cousin
have started already) to become a professional antiques appraiser.
