Hello, Graeme, welcome aboard.

Just to set you straight with terminology I refer you to the following basic terms for your edification:

Shift Worker: Someone who knows the value of working through the dark hours.
Idiot: Someone who does the same after a full day's work and doesn't even think about remuneration.

Photographer: Someone who pursues a career of capturing images with the intent of making a living from their endeavours.
Idiot: Someone who captures images indistinguishable from those of a photographer and posts them on the Internet fora without copyright restrictions.

Insomniac: Someone who has trouble sleeping.
Idiot: Someone who is an insomniac (or pretends to be such) and carts a telescope outside in the middle of winter in order to nod off when their woollies get warm and cosy.

Lover: Someone who looks after his or her spouse and would die to protect them.
Idiot: Someone who loves their telescope more than family, state or country.

Pessimist: Someone who always sees clouds.
Idiot: Someone who can always see the silver lining.
