WISPA put this in the Code of Ethics.  The organization is certainly 
"all about being legal".

This was a very minor part of his statement.  Taken all together, 
his statement says (or so it seems to me) just the opposite.  He 
stated in this, or some other email, that efforts to this end were a 
waste of time (my interpretation, not his words).

This is PRECISELY what WISPA is doing.

>As for the original post creating division, I do not see it that

How could you NOT see it that way?  The original post was a reply to 
something that had NOTHING to do with certification.  It was a 
vicious attack that was completely uncalled for and completely out 
of line.  Read back to the original question and Ralph's response. 
Then, read the entire thread to see if the original question was 
ever answered.  Ralph hijacked the thread.
