Unfortunately, producing said "majority" is a bit harder than claiming it exists. "Knightsbridge University" is not recognized anywhere in the world as a university. It was just a guy selling degrees out of his house. There is no other "reality." "Do a Google on it"? Truly? That's your analysis? Okay, let's do that, only with "Knightsbridge University." Ooh, that's not good. The need to twist the argument so violently merely to argue for the legality of such behavior is remarkable. I'm sorry you do this. [quote]
Good to see you are still in Walter Mitty mode Rich! You have completely forgotten that your friend JB operated Greenwich from a house and then from a single room office!
You have also forgotten what you wrote in October 2010:
Narcissism and Posting
For the past 12 years or so, I've been posting on quite a few DL-related fora. After pondering it for awhile, I realize that my primary aims in doing so have been two:
a. Showing off what I know.
b. Proving you're wrong.
Oh, sure, there's been no small amount of desire to truly help people as well, but I'm afraid (truly) that reason doesn't crack the top two. Thus....
I've concluded that my behavior has been incredibly narcissistic and selfish. Regardless of the low esteem in which I hold a few posters, I've found a way to get even lower. Thus....
I'm going to refrain from posting for all the right reasons. I'll still read the boards, and will be happy to respond to the few PMs requesting assistance. If I have some salient and extremely essential information another poster requires--certainly a long shot, at best--I'll PM it. I would like to reserve the opportunity to post if I'm convinced it will help the community, but I suspect that will not happen. And I won't be posting this on the other board--most readers there also read here, I suspect. But it really doesn't matter. So.... See you around. I may have something to announce next year. Peace....[/b]
Then only a few days ago you stated that you would not be posting on this subject!
On the subject of a Doctorate by Published Work I suggest that you also do a Google on this, as you will find that it is a very common process amongst state universities and private universities - throughout the world.
Sadly you also seem to be unaware that Doctors, Lawyers, Dentist, Architects, Surveyors, Electricians, Plumbers, numerous types of medical professionals, gunsmiths, engineers, auto mechanics, and just every profession you can think of often work from private houses/homes, etc.
Not to mention that KU operated perfectly legally in Denmark and had a very impressive Faculty - some of who I got to know quite well and all believed that your Union degree was of a far lower standard than any degree ever awarded by KU!

If there is anyone who ever deserved the last word, it is you. Enjoy.
