The following comment has zero crypto relevance and should not be construed

Without commenting on the quality of anyone's contributions to this mailing
list, let me remind you that Dr. Fred Cohen received his Ph.D. after writing a
very innovative thesis on computer viruses, a classic in his field. He has
every right to call himself "Dr." if he wants to.

In my experience, people who get so hysterical when a Ph.D. calls himself or
herself Dr. are invariably Ph.D. dropouts who wasted many years of their lives
trying and failing to attain a Ph.D. and are bitterly envious of those who have
succeeded.
