Minutus

What I observed that few members are writing with un-known names (aliases/pen
names) but they also write CCH (Certified in Classical Homeopathy) or other
degrees and fellowships like FSHom (Fellow of the Society of Homeopaths (United
Kingdom). This logic is un understandable to me. This is o.k when one writes
with his/her pen name but what is the purpose of writing degrees and fellowships
under their pen is beyond my approach. How can we verify that person from their
fellow ship offices. Is this not fraud which they are doing? One is writing BHMS
under is his/her signature and is not providing any licensing authority or his
her full name except for unknown pen name. I am confuesed. How can we (layman)
verify that person whether he or she is actually a real homeopath?
Thanks

This reply also went to the homeolist where the identical message was received.

I do not communicate with people who use aliases or pseudonyms--
which is why I stay off most other lists.
That is a good question.
So how come YOU use an alias? And how come you identify yourself as
"we (layman)" and use an alias of "Homeo Doctor"?
The knife cuts both ways here.

JW (not an alias)

I'm curious who you think is doing this? I haven't noticed anything like
that.

As far as "verifying", that would be quite a nuisance, unless the person
supplies the appropriate sources, and even then, how would you "verify" that
it was indeed they who wrote? I don't know, but why do you feel a need to
do this? (But, lack of "verification" is one reason that these lists are
not a good forum for obtaining medical advice, by people who are not
qualified to evaluate the value of the advice, or otherwise.)

Best wishes,
