Sure we are, we're smiting!  You can't have wizards without a good smiting
or two!  Me?  I call for a blanket condemnation of attackers.

There, I feel better now.  Good thing it's Friday.

Seriously, no need for anyone to get wrapped up in it, there's nothing
wrong with a little give an take- it's really amusing to see otherwise
rational folks defend consulting or certifications, or attack consulting
or certifications based upon their status as such- now, is the status due
to the belief, or the belief due to the status?  That's the interesting
question in these threads...
