Many of the people who post to this list also post to the other
Groupstudy lists that don't have any requirements to join.
Some people feel that since we're all here to learn and get
certified, it is helpful to let others know how far along that
path we've traveled.
Since certifications are about passing tests, an indication of
where we are on the path just might be to show which tests
we've passed!
Including such information in a signature to be seen by the
rest of the world would be silly, but to use it here makes
perfect sense. It's quite clear that people who do this in the
Groupstudy forums are not claiming to have the "CCIE Written
certification."
We do this for the same reason people taking martial arts
classes wear different colored belts and people in the military
indicate their rank on their sleeves and lapels. It's an
indication of progress. The difference is that in this forum
it obviously doesn't indicate rank.
Another analogy might be the usage of such terms as freshman,
sophomore, junior, and senior. If someone were participating
in a high school or college mailing list would you berate them
for indicating what year they were?
Hmm...you're right, anyone doing something like that would be a
total l4m3r, d00d.
