So give me a break here, you might learn something. I cannot believe I have seen this. However, since you decided to make this a public issue, I shall respond. Are *you* so insecure that your education did not provide you with proper grammar? How did you get through school? It is very apparent that your signature is both improper and just plain *wrong.* Any reference citation book, whether it be "The Chicago Manual of Style" or "Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association" states you use one or the other, not *both.* If you never used this throughout your advanced education, than common sense certainly should have. A proper signature line is as basic as verb tenses. It amazes me that you do not know this, and it appears that your peers do know it. I sure hope you had work oral instead of written work, as it seems you cannot identify your own proper signature block., as indicated above, you ego with your 3.8 average seems to get in the way. I find it humorous that you must tell this list what your deeds and grades were, as well as explaining "what the letters mean." We do not care, and since my wife and I both have 4.0 PhDs, I really do not think we can "learn something" from you. You assume too much, or perhaps think too little of the people on this group. BTW doc, your "theoryetical" is misspelled. At least learn the proper way to identify yourself in public writing. Gary (I do not need an ego booster)
