I think that in addressing the folks on such fine sites as this, we all should remember the advice of Dr. Frank K. Drake (1902-1986).

Having risen from a being a teenage section gang worker to college to become a V.P. (when that meant something) of Bell Telephone System, and after being asked by a reporter just exactly what title he held, he replied, "In my view, titles and degrees serve nothing other than to mess up good Walnut doors."
