Actually, not a bad idea. This way you can seek out those who DON'T have a
CHP behind their name, with the full knowledge that the conversation will
evolve about PRACTICAL issues instead of THEORETICAL or ACADEMIC issues!
Seriously though, your comment has done more to promulgate  a "caste system"
amongst health physicists. Is your intent to seek out CHPs because they
"know" more than others? Why ask the question? If you seek knowledge, seek
out individuals with varying backgrounds.
