I think most people will answer "improve the image of the
tech writing field," or "established recognized minimum
competency," but are really motivated by a desire to
keep people *they* see as "unqualified" out of the market
for jobs. Since there's no option that says, "to reduce
competition," I'd have to choose "other/none of the above."

Why do you think people want to discuss a tech writing certification? A desire to:

* Improve the image of the tech writing field
* Improve the quality of documentation produced
* Keep unqualified people out of the few avail. jobs
* Enhance the impact of tech writers on products
* Improve productivity
* Affect direction of undergrad TW education
* Positively affect the bottom line
* Establish recognized minimum competency
* Promote product usability
* Other/None of the above
