Hi Sharon,
I am preparing to take the SCWCD exam as well, but I haven't heard that rumor. I would say it is very unlikely, as Sun explicitly lists all of the objectives you are required to be familiar with, and there aren't any listed for the SCWCD that are also listed for the SCJP. You are, however, required to be a SCJP before taking the exam.
Also, you may want to change your user name before a bartender has to ask you. Check out the
