TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
First, understand that this subject invokes great emotional debate from many
members on this list and it is for that reason that some of us are trying to
objectively discuss this topic on another list.
As Geoff said in another response, certification or no certification...as it
is being discussed, it is not mandatory and would not be a barrier to your
level of writing. It is aimed at the top percentile experience level, and
even at that level, it is not a barrier if you don't want to participate.

"Here lies the body of William Jay.
Who died maintaining his right of way-
He was right, dead right, as he sped along
But he's just as dead as if he were wrong
