Depends what criteria you need to constitute a 'real geologist'. 

I mean a degreed, mainstream individual in Geology or Geophysics with
multiple published credits in peer reviewed publications related to
their field.



I go' a degwee, ..and George published half-a-paper on crinoids, an'
Stuart's published one or two he's prowd of, ...about plte tectonics...

Who are youo anyhow? What 'reality' do you represent?

Yes, I have a degree; my thesis on cold water surface travertine was peer-reviewed and *published* (the whole thing, not just an abstract as it was on an aspect of local geology no one else had ever noticed); papers on springs, caves and karst, as well as being a paid geology columnist and lecturer for the past 7 years (pre-degree and post-degree) and having a list of academic and government links to my websites (including some where the USGS is linked to me).

I'm basically shy; I don't like to boast-- none of this makes me a P.G., because of some weird rules for licensure in my state, but I don't think I'm any less serious in my pursuit of geology than those folks.
