Hi Ken,

IMO, there is no need for you (at the age your are) to pander to just
possibly puffed-up people, by addressing them with their 'preferred' titles
such as Mr. or Mrs. or Dr. or Prof., etcetera.

It *should* be part of every rational philosopher's "self-esteem
preservation program" that they politely offer only semantically simple yet
of course both sane and suitably sophisticated suggestions -- for others to
make sense of.

I suppose it can be profitable (and good tactics) to put in some references
to some recently published and peer reviewed related but independent results
of Science; this of course ultimately inorder to please and so get your
points better across to topically not adequately informed academic snobs, or
to 'honestly ignorant' but interested persons.

[Mind you, I am also trying to train myself! :->]

Yours benevolently understanding,

Peter
