If I recall correctly, until recently your educational program awarded
certification, and I'm assuming that your strong feelings may have been the
impetus for BSE to discontinue this. Feel free to publicaly flog me if my
memory serves me incorrectly, or if I read too much into your post. But my
question is: Do you feel that *not* offering such recognition has been (or
will be) ultimately beneficial, either to the education program, or to the
public? Otherwise stated, is *no* recognition ultimately more beneficial
than *some* kind of recognition?

I think this is part of what everyone is struggling with.
