Yeah, right! Seriously, if you read my post to Craig, to me, it's silly not to, and be seriously considering becoming certified.

Only thing I don't like about the above is the "probably". C'mon Mike. Regardless of how you do, you're: A. Going to do better the next time; B. Getting off real cheap (in terms of knowing what you have to study. How much would you pay for a study guide?); and C. (and I can't emphasize this enough) Making what could be a very important contrinbution to the Fox community (and, BTW, your future< g >).
