As someone with management experience, I disagree.
I've been holding my tongue in this thread (aside from my initial
question of which writer was the bozo)...
I think it's too early to critique what they are doing, as they have
quite a long way to go. I think Steve's post was more to get
assistance with just one small aspect, and as he indicated, a more
entertaining part, likely to be used in some kind of explanation or
marketing (I'm guessing).
I'll be tracking progress on STC's certification program, as it's of
interest to me. I'm not a supporter or a detractor of certification,
but I'm certainly curious.
