  4. Congratulations, Mark! We would know you’re a Ph.D. now if only because of the verbosity of your dissertation title. Nice work.

  5. Congratualtions Mark! After seeing the title of your dissertation, I can see why it wasn’t to tough to come up with 40 pages on the topic….the title alone took up about 1 1/2 pages in the 18 font.

    Well done, amazing perseverance, got to feel great to accomplish this goal…..Dr. Knight.
