[SPAM] Re: faux RPT?

[Lance Lafargue]

At the time, when I had worked so hard to pass the tests and travel to a good testing site and held off advertising before I was sure, it mattered to me.  RPT is all we have, even if most of the public doesn't care (informed ones do, I get asked particularly when they are shopping via phone), of minimal abilities.  If I were a plumber, I'd have whatever credentials were available.  But of course, this a beaten dead horse.
