Since end of August I can confuse peoples too, since I now have my
"Doctor in Informatic" and I have the right (at least in Germany)
to be called with "Dr. Konzack"

But I do not know, how to combinate it with a "Dipl. Ing." which
would be something like "Madame Dr. Dipl. Ing. Konzack" wich sounds
a little bit weird...
