 Let me reiterate the point and I want this to be the end of it.  If someone

goes to university for the required amount of time, has a thesis accepted 
and works his backside off he obtains the title of doctor.  No ego, no 
attitude, just plain hard work that neither you nor I have done.    I know 
people with PHD's.  They are friends.  I don't refer to them as doctor. 
However, when I am introduced to someone as doctor, I address them in that 
way.  Black, white, yellow, blind, deaf or whealchair bound.  It doesn't 
matter.  If they are a stranger and this is the way they are introduced 
because they earned the degree I can address them in that matter.  No 
complexes, no guilt, no attitude.  I hope this ends it.
