I am skeptical of most statements beginning with "most." But more to the
point, I think it's perfectly reasonable that professionals who spend a lot
of time actively engaging with language--encounters that can happen through
reading, or writing, or searching, or studying search logs, or developing
search engines, or many other things--would toy with the fringes of
lexicography, philology, orthography, playwithwordsogy, and so forth. For
us, reading is not a passive experience. 

Finally, some of us are writers, as well.
