I certainly am not a professional and I definitely hesitate to say that I am a skilled craftsman.

The number of posts to this forum hardly makes a difference. I can run that number up by simply saying "Hi, welcome to the forum" or "Wow, what a good job you have done".

You did knot ask me, but I will give you my opinion: I doubt that you are knot a skilled craftsman. Even skilled craftsmen learn new tricks because they do knot know all there is to know. The only thing required for "professional" status is to get paid for what you are doing; skill level is knot really a consideration. Putting that aside, I have a name for those that are knot professionals but have moved up from the "newbie" phase of their woodworking experience: Amateur. You can add "semi-skilled", "skilled" or even something like "supreme", if you so choose.
