Someone else suggested this very thing to me, and I thought it was at the
very least a non sequitur for someone who is familiar with their
newsletter. IMO, the EEI newsletter is a mediocre publication that often
gives the wrong advice. I certainly wouldn't place my confidence in such a
group to initiate and manage a certification program.
