Maybe we should start a certification program.  And we'll charge $5000 
a year to be certified so only serious players will get certified.  And 
we'll have roving "seminars" in all major cities taught only by our 
certified instructors.  Yeah, that's it.  And we'll rig the test so 
people have to take our useless classes to pass our useless tests.  
Then we'll dump press releases on every ZD rag out there and maybe pay 
a few CIOs and industry shills to comment on how, "hiring a 'certified 
computer corpse analyst' is the only way to determine competency".

Yeah.  That'll fix it.  tc
