You clearly are not aware of my opinions. I have never been adverse to certifications. I dislike the SCJP,
SCJD, and
SCJA. However, I have found Oracle DBA certifications to be a useful indication of ability. I also find mechanical engineering certifications valid. etc, etc, etc.
I think many certifications can have value, just that the SCJ*'s do not.
