    A fitting honour for Dr Newsome (yes, doctor, in case some of the gents and ladies have forgotten).
    And, before anyone says it, a PhD in textiles (or any other discipline) is just as much a doctor as an MD.
    Regards,

    Congratulations Dr. Newsome! A well deserved honour, as your contributions to this forum have been as longstanding as they are outstanding! Cheers!

    Though certainly deserving of an honorary PhD, granted by the (as yet unaccredited) X-Marks University.

    Matt is absolutely THE BEST. Incredibly knowledgeable, generous, kind, and a great friend. They don't come any better than Matt Newsome. He more than deserves the honor/honour (or however you spell it!). Three cheers for Matt!
