I believe that CF's admin also tried to state that his entire staff is not fully amateur. He has several professional coders who are kind enough to volunteer their professional services to the MUD.
Not every staff member of IRE gets paid, do they? Does that mean that they are amateurs, even if they are professional gamers in other venues/etc?
You can't call CF any more amateurly staffed than IRE - it is simply not a commercial product, like IRE. The difference is huge, and the inference of it being otherwise is insulting, at best.
