I didn't spend six fricking years in Evil Computer Science School to be called "mister," thank you very much.

A Ph.D. is a "real doctor". Too bad English doesn't have two separate words for "doctor" (which means "one who leads" in Latin, related to English "docent") and the more specific "medical doctor" (docteur and médicin(e) in French).

Usually when TheDamian does the pinkie thing and waves the frickin' bald cat at people it's enough, but that only works in person...

Briefly, since this subthread is a plain off-topic.

You made so many things for Perl and the community that I could spend all my life saying thanks to you and it wouldn't be enough, but PLEASE, don't point out you spent six years to get a degree.

You are a famous person, and all the famous people are known only by name and surname, or nickname. So you are "Conway", "Damian Conway", "TheDamian", "Mr.Conway" or even "Damian" to everybody.

Do you regret you are famous, Damian?

Thanks for everything you do for Perl and for us

Update: dree made me notice the smiley, and Elian showed me that I was definitely wrong. Sorry about that, my head is all covered by ash.

Oh, please, people.... Damian was doing a frickin' Doctor Evil quote. It was a joke.
