    Glad to see more people joining in with the spirit of this thread by extending their names. Is it cheating is someone else does it for you? :)

    I think Rich always uses his own name, it is even his screen name. In fact, most folks on this discussion group have begun to use their real name, at least the first one. I am not sure about the proper action concerning "outing" someone.....

    You know that probably helps to have the two line name. Most real names are longer than screen names :D

    Yes, I do. But I do not ever use "Professor," "Reverend," nor "Doctor," as Peter has said. Only the first one applies anyway. (So far. I expect another one next year. I'll leave it to to guess which.....:cool:

    ...and I am never sure whether those dark glasses really mean 'cool', 'you'd buy a second hand car/real estsate from me wouldn't you?', or 'hwo? me? I'm incognito!'

    Well we can't use the title 'professor' unless we are at the top of the tree, so for those who do not have it, where protocal demands it, or where they 'need to', you'll find the 'Dr' if it applies.

    It doesn't matter to me where ever i am or whatever I am doing, as I usually have a 1-2 generation gap and it is first name only in addressing me - not even 'Mr'.

    We follow UK protocol with Assistant Lecturer, Lecturer, Senior Lecturer and so on - the only difference to UK is that 'Tutor' to uss is bottom end, not top end. Of course no one uses the title 'Lecturer Douglas' whereas they would use the tile 'Professor Douglas'. Where the tile 'Professor' applies, it generally carries as an address right though academic, professional and social arenas.

    Hmmmm, can we use our entire names?

    Russell Ernest Paul Blahetka, CMP Twin Lakes College, BS/BM University of Phoenix, MBA- Global Business Practices San Jose State University, DBA International Business (ABD Status) Argosy University

    If they kept the name University of Sarasota it just might wrap

    Nah, you're not even trying! Not only are you lucky enough to have two middle names (I don't have any) but you've also studied at lots of places that have fairly long names and listed qualifications with fairly long titles. What about the poor guy with no middle names and who only ever studied somewhere that is known by an acronym, like USQ? Imagine Jon Smith BA UoL, MBA UoL, DBA UoL - it barely stretches across half a line!

    Thinking that maybe he ought to sign up for another course like his first degree - BA(Hons) Business Information Systems and Social Science because *that's* long.

    Yes, pbocij, they are really earned.

    And, I tried it the way you are suggesting; here it goes:


    AA (Henry Ford Community College), BA (Wayne State University), BA (University of the State of New York [Regents/Excelsior College]), MA (Wayne State University), MEd (University of Tasmania), MProfSt (Cand.) (University of New England), EdSCert (Wayne State University), DEd (Cand.) (University of Port Elizabeth).

    Come to think of it, quite funny! LOL I was glad to be an example. LOL
