Dear Dick,
Of course, you are free to have whatever opinion you want about MO, its participants and anything. If you intend to voice it here, and it ends up being as negautve as the one you have just voiced, it would be best, though, not to do so anonymously.
In any case, please tell those academic professionals you know to keep up their unavowed, anonymous participation on the main site!

]]>This amateur vs professional pissing match is silly. Most of the academic mathematicians I know would never publicly acknowledge posting on Mathoverflow as they see it only a small step up from Yahoo Answers. It's all relative.

Fatal mistake..
