Re: Certification: Ernest and Scribbler

> The 'demand' for this certification is coming from the STC. The primary beneficiary of an STC certification would be the STC. That's not to say it *mightn't* be the case that it would be useful to managers/employers/jobseekers, but I find that to be an unlikely driver.

Incorrect. Demand is coming from writers. If you don't believe me,
search the archives. This topic has popped up pretty much every year
for as long as I can remember being on this list, like clockwork. STC
is answering it. If that's seen as selfish, oh well. It's also selfish
for your company to take money from people to provide them with a
product they feel is useful or needed. At what point should we draw
the line? I have a lot of chalk.
