Good rule. It also explains why people who go by "Esq." are tools.
The "only MDs go by 'doctor'" rule was also in place at my undergrad institution --- ostensibly for a historical reason having to do with one of the founders being a little sensitive about never having finished school despite notable achievements, academic and otherwise. Like all other college lore, this was likely a crock of shit.
Now, where can I get one of those posture pictures?
