I totally agree... well with one exception... if you are an MCSE, it does
not automatically mean you have your MCSA... could be a different set of
exams they took... it does mean they already have MCP... but MCSA is not a
forgone conclusion in this case. If I had taken 221 like I had planned, I
would not be an MCSA... but I took 218 instead and got both... it all
depends on the exams you took. I have MCSE, MCSA:M, CCNA, CNA, and A+. I
don't bother listing MCSA on its own - definite forgone conclusion... when I
get my CCNP, I will drop CCNA, etc
