OS and certification

[ralphsc]

Peg and others,

I checked the website you cited and found the name of John Dicus, which
is a familiar name, somehow.  Haven't I seen it here on our list?  Can't
be sure, but thought I had.

I have always had a little difficulty with commercial organizations
certifying anything like this, but I suppose if that's what enables some
people to learn it, I don't really have a strong objection.  I guess I do
have a question about a line in Mr. Dicus' biography (on his website) in
which he says he has been a developer of OS.  I wonder what he means.

For me, it maybe a matter of taste.  I may not like it, but who am I to
tell anyone else not to indulge.  Will it pollute the waters for any of
the rest?  Maybe, sometimes.  Should we try to stop it?  I don't know how
we'd do that.
