Mike...

Good to see that FINALLY someone that doesn't have a vested interest in
promoting this crap sees them for what they are!

Also, I've been contending what you just reinforced since I first saw the
sys admin "certification" exam questions in San Antonio back at the last
Common.  I concluded back then that they were nothing more than thinly
guised marketing artificial demand generating waste of good time!  And,
that they didn't do SQUAT at really testing that you knew how to manage a
system....and I've managed more than a few!

Now, if they'd just start certifying that their "business partners"
software products worked as advertised...THAT's a certification I could
support!
