In general I think it's a better idea to actually ask academics what
they think rather than just assume for the worst using stereotypes of the uptight and absent-minded professor. I'd avise against getting too pulled in into ridiculous ivory tower parodies, especially if our upcoming Wikimania is receiving so much generous support from a number of academic communities.
I was in the thick of academia for fifteen years. I know of what I speak.
