Alan and all,

³Collaborateur² still produces, I¹m told, some negative vibes among
Europeans.  This may or may not be an issue in Australia, I don¹t know.

I call myself a consultant.  My clients have never seemed to care what
process I employed, as long as I produced the results they sought, so some
time back I ceased identifying myself in terms of the processes I purveyed.

Nevertheless, we may wish to adopt a name that raises the bar for our
clients.

How about ³Peace Maker²?
