My rule of thumb is that if they have to take time out to `identify' me, they aren't interested in a conversation anyway. They are just interested in where/if I fit in their pecking order or in their tedious, error-prone mental filing system. Best for both of us if we don't communicate! Many years ago I had complex/heuristic Lisp rules in Emacs to sort incoming e-mails into categories. But I found the e-mails I wanted to read were not from people that had rigid organizational relationships to me or followed single topics.

FWIW, I have no idea what to call myself. So, I often opt for "simulant", which usually requires an explanation. Then I can yap till the cows come home about systems engineering, programming, yaddayaddayadda and let other people decide what to call me. (It's usually not a flattering label they give me. 8^) But Marcus is right that I would never call myself a software engineer, having been trained by actual engineers.
