I agree with John. This isn't a place to judge each others' lifestyles.
And unless this topic moves away from that and back to the discussion of
Dick's new thought about certification ... well, y'all know me well enough

You do all remember Dick's point, right? :) If not, it was, "We should
not, in other words, aim for a certificate that says the person who
possesses it is a _master_ of every related discipline. The certificate
should be evidence that the individual takes the
craft/discipline/profession/whatever-you-want-to-call-it seriously."
Have a good weekend,
