Well, I don't know if it's a waste of time. Consider this. There might be some newbie guys who were all gung-ho about grabbing a bunch of certs because they believed that by doing so they would just be handed a super-kick-ass job (no doubt some training school told them so). Now perhaps after reading these threads they may be getting a whole new appreciation for exactly what certs can and cannot do for them, and they may be rethinking their whole strategy, and perhaps even stop studying and instead concentrate on building their experience first. So you could say that in these cases, these threads have not only not wasted people's time, they have actually saved people's time.
Then of course, there are those guys who've already made up their minds about what they want to do and don't want to hear what anybody else has to say (I call them the "certification religion" people). But I'd like to think that some people do indeed maintain an open mind about these kinds of things.
