I'm really not sure what body count has to do with being called engineer. Isn't it more about the method one uses to go about building things? > Spend more time around academia, where people with Doctorates demand > on being called "Doctor" and people without them get their hackles up. > It's almost amusing. I've been around plenty of Ph.D. chemists and physicists etc. They were regularly called "Doctor" and it never once came up. Maybe I've been fortunate not to work with petty people. -- Tracy Reed _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
