I noticed that our esteemed correspondent Joseph C. Slater  
systematically identified himself as a PhD (which many of the list's  
members probably are), but I wonder what the acronyms P.E., D.WRE, CFM  
refer to.

My preference goes to Alphonse Allais

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphonse_Allais

who, in the early XXth century, proudly qualified himself as "abonné  
au gaz", which roughly  means that he what connected to the gas network.
