Congratulations on a major accomplishment, you suddenly reminded of the other Dr. Nick I know of. Dr. Nick Riviera on the Simpsons. I hope you are a Simpsons fan and know about Dr. Nick.

I am not a quack doctor though, although I don't know that dirt doctor lends me any more credence.

Congratulations from someone who did it 43 years ago. I'm imagining that it is as difficult and frustrating now as it was then.

Different frustrations I am sure. You guys had to actually hunt through a card catalog and do statistics either manually or with a punch card. And you had to type your dissertation. You definitely didn't have access to all the research worldwide.

Probably the most difficult thing to do now is find something that hasn't been done already.

What he said!
Congratulations to you!
I stopped at a Masters... could not take another paper (& was at the wire on turning my last in b/c I had put it off looking for inspiration). My hats off to you!
Be very proud of that 'DR.'
