Well, other places on the planet can speak to you. Just for the heckuvit, I went to dice.com and searched for OCP alone and got over a dozen hits. And got a good laugh 'cause one listed "Irving, CA." Which just goes to show the biggest value may be to semi-literate headhunters.

That may well be true, but I agree with Hans. There is some value to it, but as a means, not an end.

Just yesterday, I couldn't remember some obscure syntax that varies by version, looked at the doc, uncrossed my eyes and opened up an old OCP book and had a useful example to hand. Then I knew what to look for here and on metalink to get a correct answer.

Of course, the OP was likely extremely new to this game, and you are right to express an opinion on the value of OCP. The value or lack thereof needs to be put in context.
