Dear Robert:
Let's either get back to the real thread at hand or kill the thread.
I know I am not a Duke (Ellington, Of Earl or otherwise). My postings
about the subject of CET was to enlighten people and to dispute the
implication that people that are CET's have intelligence of little
better than a turnip. (Whether said or implied.)
It's just a habit I've gotten into and is part of my signature line and
or my email address. It nothing to get bent out of shape over. BTW: I
have run into people that do use ME and EE after their names.
