[Josh & Valerie McCormack <traveler@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The 5 o'clock books have an interesting view point on this not too uncommon 
condition - where a title and a position don't necessarily match up. They 
contend that while it may at first feel dishonest to change
your title, in actuality using the original title is more dishonest since it 
only has meaning within that organization. So you may want to use a title like 
Programmer/Project Manager, or Hands-on Technical
Project Manager, or something.
