Of all the replies I've received, yours is the SOLE
response supporting the cert.
And imagine..........hmmmmm, you also are someone who
can potentially PROFIT from someone ridicuously
pursuing a certificiation in a DEAD career direction.
I could go on with more rhetoric, but its not worth
it, you know and realize the TRUE value in someone
certifying with MPE.
