> From an ethical standpoint, I’m speaking of “truth in advertising” as a personal responsibility. Perhaps that’s an unrealistic expectation on a public board. The focus of this board is health related – a “Dr.” or other medical title would have me believe a person was the “real deal”, but maybe that would just be me. I think titles in ID’s at best could be a little confusing and at worse, deceptive.
