Re: Certification: Ernest and Scribbler

[Steven Jong <stevefjong -at- comcast -dot- net>]

Rick, as I've already stated, guiding principle #1 of the STC certification program is that certification will not be required for membership, and membership will not be required for certification. 



So it's NOT a goal, no.

Thought from the edge here: 

If STC were to insist only folks that passed certification could qualify 
for initially joining STC or as a condition of maintaining existing 
membership (with periodic recertifications), wouldn't it "guarantee" a 
stream of income for STC? 

I'm not saying that's the goal here, but I'm sure I'm not alone in 
having that thought cross my mind. After all, if you perceive you have a 
declining membership and are seeking additional revenue streams it would 
seem plausible. ;) 

Cheers... Rick :)
