We use the self introduction just to get to know you a little bit. Here at FDP, we take the "community" part of "open source community" seriously. Besides, there is nothing to keep you from inflating your intro. That wouldn't be fair to yourself or to the other participants, but we don't check such things: such behavior is its own punishment ;-) We believe a quick "this-is-me" is a very low hurdle to gain membership. Tell us who you are and you are in. When I did the RHCE certification for Red Hat, I had that 16-year old you mentioned and, yes, he did out-score many other more senior folk on the test. Myself, I don't have a degree either. Ability is what counts here, not puffery. Show us what you can do and we will help you every step of the way. So, tell us a bit about yourself, give yourself a way to identify yourself to us, and we will give you read/write access to the whole CVS kingdom (just about). Seems pretty friendly, to me. Cheers
