For those who are newer to the list it may be worth clarifying that 
the "canonical" roshei teivos for Rav Teitz is REMT, whereas Rav 
Turkel's (and, IIANM, he does have smicha, although he doesn't work 
in rabbanus) are RET.

Personally I would add that REMT's stature is well known both on 
and off this list and members here quickly learn that RET's stature 
is greater than he would admit to (and I have met him in person).
