Ha! Tony I think you know there is no standard! :D The problem I
think is this: each position is tailored to the company and the
people you will work with, so you get lots of variation.

I think IAs are well defined. If you say "visual designer" and not
just "designer" that helps. Developers are all over the place...

No no no! The FULL title is: Interaction *Designer* / Human Factors
Engineer! woooooo! I need ONE more tacked on there for the "title
triumvirate"!

But seriously, because of my responsibilities - the title actually
makes a fair amount of sense :)
