Heh heh. But I do.

Mafud, you're the lightning rod here! *I* was the one who used the term
"civilians" to refer to non-photojournalists. But you're taking all the
flak. Thank you!

For the record, I agree with Mafud. "Civilian" does have a figurative,
non-literal sense, meaning "those who are not us."

Nevertheless, I apologize for using the term so hastily, and for starting
this little thread! I take it all back!
