I get your drift, I think.
I can see that it would be extra convenient for those in the world of professional archaeology to view persistent amateurs as "geeks" or whatever. I should imagine it makes it easier for them to dismiss any valid points made by the type of folk who seem to inhabit this forum if they can do that.
For the record, Iv'e never been involved in archaeology in an organised capacity, but Iv'e learned more and been provoked to think more by this site than any other info source, be they books, telly, whatever. So if that's what geekery produces, long may it reign. Most of the people I know think I'm a total cracker. It's nice to see that you can go tromping about in the hills looking for ancient remains for fun, and know that there are others who feel the same, whatever the labels they attract.
