that I should clarify here in the blog.

If you are an Oracle DBA and have
considered becoming certified (but have not begun yet), did you know

Just a quick note to let you know that in the interest
of keeping the most useful content available here on the Oracle
Certification Blog, we do moderate the comments. We welcome (and
encourage dialog, questions, comments, etc) here on the topics at hand.
We'll never 'censor' out a comment just because we don't like it - in
fact, this is how we often learn ways in which we can do better. But of
course we will filter out the typical list like anyone else:
crude/offensive remarks, foul language, reference to illegal activity,
etc.

The Oracle Certification Program has several email aliases that you can use depending on what you need to accomplish. In this short video, Harold Green shows you how to contact those who can best help you:
