Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Yes, if we don't start something there will NEVER be any value to it. Yes,
until it has value, people wont BUY into it. We need to crawl before we
walk. If we went straight into $200 membership, pass these exams it would
never ever happen. Just because we don't have a financial model for it as
yet does not consign it to the forget it bucket - it is merely our
profession is several thousand years behind the others, lets start where
they did and maybe we can work up to where they are now.

No, I don't expect much to happen in the marketplace for at least 1/2
generation. This does not discourage me, rather, its about time we left
something for those to follow in our footsteps. If 2 generations down the
track they can charge and have marketplace respect, it was worth doing.
