Well, with a comment like that, I can see why you were too chickensh*t to sign your name to it.

Maybe you should have just stopped after the first line, thought about it for a moment, and then not posted at all.

You evidently have a misconception about security, certifications, and overall business as a whole. You don't seem to understand that outside of the NYT, there are hundreds of CISSPs working for organizations who have not been able to get the necessary resources or support to implement recommended changes. Just b/c someone thinks it should happen doesn't make it a fact.
