I absolutely am NOT saying that anyone with an OCP is incompetant, a bad person, or any other such thing. Some of the best DBAs I've known were OCP. Some weren't. Some of the very worst DBAs I've known were OCP. Some weren't.
I simply think that its main value (other than the totally artifical value of being a common checklist item for hiring authorities now) is to get people to study, learn, and try things out. However, those things don't really require a certificate, ILT classes, or checks made out to Oracle. I agree that this thread is worn out.

Listers, I suggest that we drop this topic now, since it might start to offend if it goes further. We all have much more in common that we have that divides us, and this topic is a downright silly thing to risk hurting each other over. It is worth far less than the harmony of this community.
