As I said, Jim, for those 'in the know'.
My experience has been that terminology is very important. Its tough enough using language to convey understanding (as witnessed through these posts). People who post here use all kinds of vocabulary to describe their situations and often we find ourselves asking for clarification.

I guess you live in a different world. I, for one, have always tried to use the correct (not obscure) words to describe what I'm speaking about.

I know a few MEP's and they are, with very few exceptions, extremely dysfunctional, very top heavy, some fat cats at the top enjoying serious perks and the working folks never appreciated. I don't know how much money NIST is giving to the MEP's these days, but as a tax payer, I wished the money was better spent. Needless to say, most consulting organizations that I know hate the MEP competition due to the subsidies they enjoy.
