Guys;
Look around yourselves at IIS ... there are many professionals contributing many ideas, concepts and knowledge. They may not have their training basis in Astronomy but I can assure you, their expertise acquired over their years of dedication in their chosen professions, are directly benefitting amateur astronomy.
There's much more that comes from having worked in a professional environment than having that label or wearing shiny badges, gained through a university education. Much can be learned from developing ideas, theories etc in an environment where those notions do not fit the mainstream consensus. The primary area being how to present those concepts with eloquence, whilst displaying respect for those with consensus views/thinking.
'Conspiracies' define pseudoscientists.
Is that really how you want to portray yourselves ?
Cheer & Rgds
