While I am glad that Wayne is amused, and I do agree that there is reason
for lists to be selective, I think that a list that excludes scientists who
work at research institutes is not suitable for scientific networking. If
academia.edu starts to enforce its policy, it would be a real shame. I
wonder if there is some effective way to pressure it to change the policy
and broaden the scope of admissability.
As it stands, not even a retired professor seems to qualify, unless emeritus
of course.

Bill's story is quite amusing, but serious amateurs (some of whom might be
bartenders and waitresses, and other non-academic rabble) might be
hard-pressed to remain amused under such circumstances. While a few might
try to "sneak in," others might prefer not to indulge in deception to gain
entry.
