The only joke I made was this one, Gregory:
I know what "certifiable" implies. Sometimes, I even think people who go out of their way to find and tackle enduser computer problems fit /that/ bill... ;-)
It targets no one in particular and is even self-effacing, meaning I also fit into the category that is the butt of the joke... I was being *friendly* not "mean". Moreover, I followed up with some decent advice. The least you could have done was quote me correctly and attribute the "mean" response to the correct party. Anyway, I don't think David was intending to be mean. He's right. "Certified Computer Specialist" asserts a certification without citing a certificate or the authority granting it. It isn't just vague, it's vacuous... completely devoid of any meaning at all. I think he's doing you a favor by pointing it out. It would look better and possibly be better for your business if you cited a specific certification. regards, - Carl Sun Microsystems Competency 2000 Certified 1996 OKI Advanced Communications Certified Cellular Technician (Self-Certified Linux Nut)
