David Streit">> David; Possibly not...... as you have displayed enough "garbage and prejudice" to fill many replies. Looked at rationally the tests for RPT do not supply "santification" but rather are proof that if you pass them you can perform the skills at least 80% of the time. Of course if you 'do' perform these skills at the 80% level eventually it is also enough proof to get you thrown out of the Guild. Becoming an RPT only allows one to participate more fully in the political and policy making of PTG and does not make one more of a 'member' than an Associate is. In the end becoming an RPT, or not becoming an RPT, is a personal choice and nothing more. David one need only look at the long list of Associates in PTG who are respected and admired by 'all' members to realize that it ain't the title what counts. What PTG does not need is another RPT who feels that somehow or other a mere Associate is somehow beneath us or less than valuable to us all. My View. Jim Bryant (FL)
