Ed,

I addition to yo0ur fine discussion of the emrits, or lack thereof, for the BrainBelch exam. I seem to remember that the MCP exam, which was considerably mroe difficult to pass, was targeted to identify the "MINIMALLY QUALIFIED APPLICANT" for a VFP position and not to indentify a "Master of the product".

Personally, I find the use of the term master a bit insulting. Hell it has only taken me 20+ years of xBase experience to get the knowledge that I have and that exam certainly does not stress my knowledge base.
