So to draw a parallel to the world of doctors, you want: A state licensing board for an IT guy/gal to call themselves an IT guy/gal. A state licensing board for every subspecialty of IT (programming, systems admin, network design, network operations, mail (Netscape), mail (Exchange), mail (isocor), etc. A state association that you MUST may association dues to, or face being listed "not in good standing" in their directory.
(repeat above for each and every state that you want to practice your trade in, whether in person or via tele-presence). Not for me, thanks.

Subject: RE: Deckler wrote a book?!? maybe i'm missing something here, but i just read that ethics thing and it looks like this to me if you ask 100 people on the street who is more professional a doctor or it guy, probably everyone would say doctor ergo if it people want to be considered as professional as doctors and get paid similar salaries then we need to create a professional governing body and not have silly things like "microsoft" certification that would be the equivalent of having "pfizer" certification as a doctor, which dont make no sense obviously there are some strong feelings about some past history that i have no idea about but the ethics piece looks like a sound argument to me > Same old bag of gas.
