If you've been following the Huffman chronicles, it seems pretty apparent that 
he got his PhD from some kind of unaccredited (at least in US terms) school or 
diploma mill.  I imagine he bothers with the charade because that fact 
embarrasses him.  

I agree that if a guy wants to use a title in the capacity that DS has, ie. 
for promotional/public relations and someone asks for verification of it, that 
guy ought to provide it if he doesn't want to suffer the resultant slings and 
arrows from tireless crusaders for truth (such as yourself, BH and FTHX).

     Yeah, if I lived in Hawaii I sure wouldn't be wasting my time on
this.

     First off, I have never called him Dr.

  Second, there are plenty of people out there who MAY HAVE A FAKE PHD,
but I don't go out of my way to try and hunt them down. I don't believe
or disbelieve it, and either way, I don't give a shit. If you don't
believe him, then go ahead and don't believe him, I couldn't care less,
but putting it all over here is the wrong place.

No one hunted down DS either, he came here on his own.

No it's not. Derek puts his claim here. Derek threatens law suits

Aparrently you haven't followed Derek for long or you are just another
blind follower. He has done far more than miss release dates.

Evidence of a  PhD?? Show me some.
Go ahead i'm waiting..........and waiting...go ahead post up that Phd
proof. Oh wait the Great Taco Commander has order you not too. Never
mind. 

	That's the best line I've
heard in months! Made this whole
thread worth following--even though
I've never  played BC3d (Bc3k or
whatever it is). I guess Derek Smart
must be kinda like Ti (who did
have PHD) or Do--except he's not
waiting for a comet (but maybe
his f followers are). I haven't 
heard about whether or not Dr.
Smart (Maxwell Smart?) has won
the Nobel Prize though..

In the middle of November 1996 Derek said that he would release THE
proper BC3K that would be complete and playable by the end of November
1996. You are full of it and a liar along with Derek if you call
THAT missing a release date instead of just an out right LIE!
And what about the manual that was all done except for a minor
formatting problem? It was a LIE not a missed release date.

This is total nonsense.

Not that anything like actual evidence will ever sway you from your
naive belief in a fraud and liar.

It does sound like me doesn't it? However, if I were to go on about Derek's
accomplishments I would try to stick with reality and facts. I wouldn't
muddle the issue with excessive hyperbole. Oh, perhaps I'd mention the fact
that before Derek's academic pursuits, he worked for the World Health
Organization and helped to eradicate Small Pox in the '70s. For his selfless
efforts, France awarded him with the Prix de Grandeur which he now keeps in a
trophy case next to a gold-plated CD of his game. Naturally he moved on to
work for the CDC and was sent to Papua New Guinea. Unfortunately, I believe
this would be the place where he contracted Kuru.

Did you know that Derek has BC3K tatooed onto his left buttock? Mr Brooks
sent me a picture of it and told me he that he gazes at it lovingly before
bedtime.

But think about it, ribo.  You believe a lawyer would pursue this course
if at were all a charade?  That the lawyer is not intimately aware of the
existance of the PhD? If this does anything, it helps to establish the

Thanks for the voc. Always the informed gamer. Get a life. If you have nothing
constructive to add, shut the hell up. Only talk when your peers ask you to
squeak and only if your parents are in bed.  Considering we're talking about
Unreal and you're pitching your shit here, it's no wonder a game as complex as
BC3K and which requires someone with a 'brain' and an IQ to play, wait until
you grow one and see if your opinion changes. 'nuf said jackass.
