in reply to Perl Certification

quester above seems to have found a much more likely URI for the project.

Some members stand to loose too much.

That stuff adds no value, really doesn't seem to make any sense, and the passive-aggressive tone, plus the spelling, would make me keep walking past that window and advise anyone I know, on lists or at work, do the same. If you're already alienating those who generally agree with you, take a step back and think about what you're trying to accomplish compared to the methods you're choosing to get there.

Acknowledging dissent in an abstract is a good rhetorical technique. Being dismissive isn't the same thing as discussing or summing the pros and cons of the issues.

Gaining money for the TPF seems orthogonal to certification too. Tying it in gives me further pause (and not the perl dot org kind, ho-ho). The best, most useful parts of the Perl I work with are coming directly from sharper elements in the private sector -- like Shadowcat Systems and Infinity Interactive -- and hardcore devs -- like Kogman, Rolsky, Kennedy, and Siracusa.

Rambling feedback. No punchline. Good luck and let's have a clean fight.
