Dwayne, i think I speak on behalf of everyone here when i say this: Being a Certified Roof Cleaner is not about how many posts someone has, or how much money anyone donates to the forum. That is exactly where people became suspicious, if you will, of the "certification process". 100 posts does not make someone a certified roof cleaner. 100 substantive posts, key word SUBSTANTIVE, makes someone ELIGIBLE to take the verbal test. So, that's one aspect of the "shameless promotion" I referred to in another thread. When someone posts, and posts, and posts, day in and day out, just to get link juice and the word "certified" beside their name, that robs credibility from an organization that stands firm on what roof cleaning is all about. 

     Dwayne, do not think for one second that this post is aimed at you; it is not. I just wanted to clarify for future reference. There is at least one person I know here, or that used to be here, that has the word "certified" beside his name both here and "there", and wouldn't know his elbows from his butthole when it comes to roof cleaning, because he has only cleaned about 10 roofs. HE was a major source of skepticism from outside contractors who knew of him. I know this because I spoke, and still speak with them, on a regular basis. In essence, spamming the board doesn't make anyone a roof cleaner. It only makes them a roof cleaning wanna-be, and a spammer.
