And what about those of us who write about neither hardware nor
software? Or am I the only one? If we *do* get into certification,
which I'm still not convinced is a great idea, it would have to be
certification of basic communication skills, not whether you can read
code or perform non-destructive inspection. Unless you wanted to get
into specialty areas, I suppose.

Thanks, Tracy. I don't write about hardware or software either and was
beginning to wonder if the discussion was becoming too area-specific.
