Both Adobe and Enfocus run their Certified Expert examinations on-line. I believe they outsource the actual exams to a third party but you can find out more details from their respective web sites -

funny. an instrument of outsourcing prepress work having to take an exam that is outsourced to a third party. Should I just quit my job now and let you pakistanis and indians have it?, in fact would you like my dinner tonight too, Im not hungry. Here please take the shirt off my back, I like being blistered by this Texas heat(plus these suntan lines on my arms are hideous)

You know what?.. as a matter of fact, I don't need this air to breathe either, would you like it, I hear they CAN it and SELL it in Mexico.

Moderators/Cory - how can you let such a post remain on the forum? It is borderline racist and fueled by the pathetic ignorance that exists in America today.

According to mr bloody brilliance, only Americans are allowed to work. Only Americans have families to feed. Only Americans matter.

Where did he get the information from that Mohammad is taking work from you poor poor Americans? I've read his post several times and I cannot see it. What does he know that we don't? Is he just making assumptions and convicting without evidence? Trurth, Justice and the American way my ars*! You should be ashamed of yourself.


Mohammad,

I apologise on behalf of prepress forum for this little boy's intolerant attitude. It in no way reflects the views of the vast majority of members here. Good luck with your studies.

Bart

In no way was I being racist. I just found it funny, so I spoke my mind. I thought that was what freedom of speech was about.



>edit: I do apologize if I offended anyone, I found it funny that a prepress guy in a country that obviously gets a lot of outsourced work in, was looking for a test to certify himself and someone offers a suggestion but then says they outsource the testing to a 3rd party. It was a stab at outsourcing not at Pakistani's or Indians. I however am insulted that you would say that I said anything about americans being the only ones who can work??... where did you get that from??>.... I also am not pathetically ignorant. I am a buddhist who helps people of all races and status around me all the time. So please do not make those types of prejudgements against me anymore, without knowing me personally first.

Some people believe in freeedom of speech "for me but not for thee" and then in the same breath call some one else ignorant.

I find it a little hard to believe that some one in a printing related page as this would advocate censorship

I believe that everyone has the right to free speech, but I also think that post was a little over the line...

"Should I just quit my job now and let you pakistanis and indians have it?, in fact would you like my dinner tonight too, Im not hungry. Here please take the shirt off my back, I like being blistered by this Texas heat"

That is over half your post, and it sounds a little harsh, not ironic, funny or "a stab at outsourcing".

As to "prejudgements", the one thing I love about the internet is that you are judged solely on what you write. Not your looks, your title, and especially your voice. We're all just type on a screen. This board is a community where we all come together. You've obviously made a tremendous amount of posts, and anyone who has spent any amount of time here would get to know you. Over 500 posts, and you think we don't know alot about you? It may only be your online persona, but it's still you.

Cory, don't remove it, censor it or do anything with it. Just let it stand and let others determine what it was for themselves. We're all grown ups here. We can figure out who we want to "hang out" with, and who we ignore.

Dave
