Your post reminded me of an article I read today. Unrelated to this subject. I don't want to hijack this thread but found this interesting.
There is an investigation going on about government workers to see if any have bought high school diplomas and college degree from a place in Washington, Seattle I think that turns these diplomas out by the hundreds if not more. I thought that was kind of scary.
The Spokane newspaper released all the names- you can check their database. They have found the obvious government workers already (the geniuses who used .mil,.gov, etc. email addresses.) I checked my state list of buyers and actually saw someone I knew in high school had bought himself an MBA.
