If they are unscrupulous enough to be disbarred or suspended, how could I accept any certification of theirs? I'd want to see the Fed's listing. I believe that the list is published by GSA. As I mentioned in an earlier post, they do not have it in an electronic format. At least not yet. The technoweenies may be able to figure a way to get the paper version into electronic format.
