... or because those responsible in the company do not know the job or its
real requirements, and would rather settle on a factor that can be easily
measured: "So Mr. applicant, you have your MCSE certificate with you...?".
That way, when things go horribly wrong, they can cover their b*tts, and
limit the firing to the hapless mcse... ;-)

Well, there *is* an MS course on scripting. My impression, though, is that
it is more a survey and sampler of various scripting technologies. Even in
terms of presenting "best scripting practices" I disagree with its approach,
unless it is considered only for those likely to stay at the beginner level.

Yes, I eagerly await its appearance too. As do, I am sure, people like
Clarence Washington, Richard Mueller, Joe Richards, Bob Wells, Alex
Angelopoulos, Robbie Allen, and others who will, I hope, accept my apologies
for the omission of their names.
