| Looks and sounds like a better tailored TCA ultralight lame.
Barry Paul, any comments (See, Brad? I fixed it.)

| Not to be too nitpciky, but the MD in "Barry Paul M.D. Leon Paul" modifies Leon Paul rather than Barry Paul. It refers to Barry's position at LP which, I'd guess, is something like managing director. I know that Barry has, in the past, corrected people's assumption that he's a doctor.
-B :)

-B  | So,
MD = "Managing Director" ?

| FYI
MD is a strictly American academic title denoting a medical education.
In other country's there are other titles to say that you're a physician.
note that I don't use the word doctor, as that is also an ambiguous term...
some abbreviations have multiple explanations based on the context.
In the context of Barry it would be more logical for M.D. to mean managing director
besides, it's M.D., while the title of a physician is MD

| I can't believe you guys just debate "MD" in the armoury thread...
I've a good mind to move this into the Water Cooler...
From a UK perspective MD means managing director. Physician's are referred to as Dr in UK and someone who has a 'doctorate' in something other than medical practise (i.e. physics) would generally only refer to the Doctor honorific in an official capacity (like lecturing or publishing papers) whereas it is quite common to refer to someone who is a medical practitioner as "Doctor".
I can assure you that Barry Paul is the managing director of LP. |

Any thoughts? | These are lame's created using either the same material or a similar material to what Triplette uses for their lame's. Given what I've seen of LP products, the cut of their lame will be more to the liking of those who aren't built like a box. The TCA clothing just always seems to be cut extra baggy.
