I never made that generalization. If you re-read my previous post I said that the certification process does not adequately measure the holders ability to do anything. This is not the fault of the certificate holder, but of the certification authority. I picked on the CEH in particular because of the complete lack of ethics the EC-Council has. It's ironic that they chose the name for the certification that they did :).

The entire point of my previous post was to encourage more active participation and contributions and discourage spending money on certifications that do not actually better anyone's situation except the certification authority. Sorry if that was offensive.

Agreed :). So now let's go spend time to learn something useful.
Cheers,
