Quilard...I like that. I think that is what I want to be; I believe I have been in training for that for a long time. I just may start writing "QiT" , as in "Jenny Smith, QiT". It has a nice ring to it, and there are already enough PhD's in the world...

If at all, then something much, much better, because more personal! I've always been impressed by those Bene Gesserits, though.
