You started all this by defining a Troll (all be it, assuming)
posting.

Yep Braindumpers (there are so many of them), spammers ( excluding
those who advertise with large sigs at the bottom of the their own
posts), thieves, counterfeiters, pirates, cheats and stupid people
(whoshould be let near a terminal, even a dumb one), all come in for
flaming, as it should be. These people have no business in our
profession.
Oh yes some of us do post amusing posts as well which are indeed off
topic. Having a sense of humor is not a crime, at least not in the usa
(or the uk).
I have no problem with people wanting to enter the profession (newbies
as you call them), and wish those people luck in achieving that goal.
The industry needs top quality engineers. However, the mcse
certification program is not for 'newbies' and this is not a 'newbie'
ng. The mcse certification program should not be seen as a starting
point for people who want to enter the profession. Sadly there is no
way to determine those mcse's who got through with brain dumps, those
who worked hard, but have no real world experience and those that are
true professionals.

An MCSE candidate should have at least one year of experience

database, messaging, proxy server or firewall, dial-in server, desktop
management, and Web hosting
Connectivity needs including connecting individual offices and users
at remote locations to the corporate network and connecting corporate
networks to the Internet

You do NOT see 'many innocent people' which I or anyone else has
'knocked down', only stupid or ignorant people, which I for one don't
want in this profession.
