    Please explain respondeat superior

    What initials do I place after my name??

    Agree wholeheartedly. IMHO, our sigs should reveal our understanding of that to which we're attesting. If our additional degrees are relevant to our documentation, then we should by all means list...

    male CNA fired for "I love YOU"

    Haven't been here in a while. (Just finished the first of two years. School kills any kind of social life!) But glad to see you haven't changed a bit, Ms. J. You're only about 500% right on this....
