Actually, I don't believe that you did, hence my requests. I recall another time where we had to stop and define some terms so we could continue the discussion without talking past each other.
As for the whole PhD thing, I don't have one, but Steve does, and I know he earned it, therefore he has every right to use it in his name, not to say "look at me", but simply because he has earned the right to be called "Doctor". I have computer certifications that I add to my name in relevant circumstances, I paid the fees to take the tests and studied for them, so I have earned the right to put them after my name, which is the protocol for such things. Just for the record, they are A+ and Network+. After I finish my school studies (online, in my case, through Kaplan University), I will be able to place BS in Information Technology after my name, and once I earn certification in Project Management, that acronym will also go after my name. In Seabreezer's case, I would dare him to tell his medical doctor that placing "Dr." in front of his name was a sign of insecurity. I don't think he would get very far with that, and might even have to find another doctor....
I'm with you on the iPad! It's the first Apple product that I've actually wanted to own. My daughter works for Chase Bank, and can get them at a discount (it's great to have connections!), so when I have the money, I will have her get me one.
BTW, Dr. Steve, is a very gracious host, and gave me a tour around his town, pointing out landmarks and such. He knows some great places to eat, as well, and I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent with him. He is one of the nicest people I've ever met, and a very thoughtful and insightful man, as any good pastor should be.
OK, back to the thread....
