I believe it has to do with the database and the fact that the database in its present form will see phd md etc as a actual author.
The engineers are going to be busy particularly as this has been an issue discussed on this list for over four years.

I do not understand leaving off MD and PHD. If I am going to read a book about a health problem, say heart disease, I would pay more attention to one written by a doctor than I would a lay person or student.

He says that other people understand his comments. He was surprised I did not understand the following to mean do not include PHD or MD in author's names. To his "title" means MD or PHD. He seems extremely annoyed to be questioned. At 12:57 PM 1/3/2007, you wrote: Stop Being Your Symptoms and Start Being Yourself Author: Arthur J. Barsky MD and Emily C.
