Jennifer Levey Mar 17, 2007:
Also, 'sans oublier' is wrong in the given context (actually, they are deliberately leaving out other professional fields).

The English ' ... without mentionning ...' looks like a poor translation from some other language (Spanish, French ...?). The expression 'not to mention ...' is far more idomatic.
