Napo said...: Post pas rapport !

my bot (you know that little program that goes around checks blog updates, profile update, etc) picked up your profession update which is 'Professional Dilettante'
Excuse my ignorance, but can you please shed more light on that role? (i wanted to get an exact answer from a professional instead of googling it) if i may of course...; 1:49 PM
Hannibal said...: Napo: When I started working on my blog I preferred, for many reasons, not to state my real job given its nature:) and chose instead not an occupation but a description of my favorite areas of interest such as , arts, literature, music, poetry, history etc.For further information about the "Dilettanti" you can google the story of the "Society of Dilettanti" in 18th century England.Ironically, the word "dilettante" is often used in english language in a derogatory way, ie, someone who studies or does something, but without serious interest or understanding :P; 11:28 PM
