Your argument stinks.  You're saying that Excel is a programming
language, because *you* made money using similar tools.

My sister is a dentist.  She makes lots of money.  Therefore, by
your logic, dental surgery constitutes a programming language. WTF?!

Just because your particular career didn't involve much proper
programming doesn't change the fact that teeth aren't algorithms, Excel
is a spreadsheet application, that many careers actually do!

I think the guys who wrote Excel program for a living too.

It's as if you're trying to convince people on this list that they would
be better giving up their jobs, giving up their study and going to work
in an insurance broking making excel spreadsheets.

Well thanks for the offer of employment advice, but it's not what I
want to do.

Thanks
