I am a pure ameture so no offence taken and my guess is that 90% of submitters are so it is a fairly accurate stereotype.
The interesting thing from the article you missed out:
Mr. Shenk said Corbis would announce its plans for the microstock business sometime this quarter. As for the question of how a high-end company enters that business without cannibalizing its more expensive products, Mr. Shenk said the idea was to find a new kind of customer, people who would never envision buying pictures from a Corbis or Getty.There have been a few other articles on Microstock recently (I try to track them on my
blog) so I think Corbis has been putting out the quiet word to try to drum up fre publicity.
