It has been my pleasure to contribute over all the years! It is literally due to this mailing list that I became known as TMAC! Quick story: I worked at NetApp a LONG time ago (Employee #147) when this mailing list started. I would sign all my work with "--tmac". Fast forward 3 years...at NetApp Sales Kickoff. I am intoducing myself ... Hi I'm Tim McCarthy. Quisical looks. THen I say ...TMAC...and the usual reply was "Oh! Your're THAT GUY" So it stuck. Appreciate what this list did for the community. Good luck Tom! --tmac *Tim McCarthy, **Principal Consultant* *Proud Member of the #NetAppATeam <https://twitter.com/NetAppATeam>* *I Blog at TMACsRack <https://tmacsrack.wordpress.com/>* [image: Cisco and NetApp FlexPod Design Specialist] <https://www.youracclaim.com/badges/58cf082d-acd8-4529-821a-bb7eb93a296c/pub…>[image: NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer - SAN Specialist, ONTAP] <https://www.youracclaim.com/badges/162b629e-b4f1-48af-a8f9-d2a9517ec100/pub…>[image: NetApp Certified Data Administrator, ONTAP] <https://www.youracclaim.com/badges/b41a5941-6885-4181-b984-21df36bc27a8/pub…>[image: NetApp Certified Storage Installation Engineer, ONTAP] <https://www.youracclaim.com/badges/367c462d-d58b-4cbf-9e8d-a5068b247cd6/pub…>[image: NetApp Certified Support Engineer] <https://www.youracclaim.com/badges/053a4154-47c0-41e8-899f-b2dc81b228a3/pub…>[image: NetApp Accredited Hardware Support Engineer] <https://www.youracclaim.com/badges/02a6dbc2-e7f4-4779-846c-3d0eabd48798/pub…>[image: NetApp Accredited MetroCluster IP Implementation Engineer] <https://www.youracclaim.com/badges/24bde044-b196-4b33-8fe7-603e533f2551/pub…>[image: Cohesity Installation Professional] <https://www.credly.com/badges/1d8a1589-8c33-48c1-b909-4c05a39d33de/public_u…> [image: Cisco and NetApp FlexPod Implementation and Administration Specialist] <https://www.youracclaim.com/badges/53a73b2a-ca83-43b8-895e-3299735dd406/pub…>[image: NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer - Data Protection Specialist] <https://www.youracclaim.com/badges/51e81930-cad0-4e1f-b54d-dde7f181516c/pub…>[image: NetApp Certified Technology Associate] <https://www.youracclaim.com/badges/bb26a4bf-2449-4998-a374-74235bc6dec3/pub…>[image: Subject Matter Expert] <https://www.youracclaim.com/badges/fc9747ad-648b-4472-8557-72e70e2879c4/pub…>[image: NetApp Certified Support Engineer - ONTAP Specialist] <https://www.youracclaim.com/badges/c0815721-1751-4cc3-9bae-01d2778a5358/pub…>[image: NetApp Accredited StorageGRID Implementation Engineer] <https://www.youracclaim.com/badges/9613df3b-99b8-41ce-a62f-3a7443316b4e/pub…>[image: NetApp Accredited MetroCluster Installation Engineer] <https://www.youracclaim.com/badges/52ebdd24-6c9b-40a5-ba75-a60508b5f28b/pub…>[image: Cohesity Sales Associate] <https://www.credly.com/badges/8211f6b8-b9c5-46b3-ba55-ba64f76ae383/public_u…> On Fri, Jun 19, 2026 at 2:45 AM Tom Yates via toasters < toasters(a)lists.teaparty.net> wrote: > > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Tom Yates <madhatter(a)teaparty.net> > To: toasters(a)lists.teaparty.net > Cc: > Bcc: > Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2026 08:45:34 +0100 (BST) > Subject: Administrivia > I think this list has finally, after slightly more than 29 years, run its > course, and unless I hear some cogent objections, I propose to turn it off > on 30/6/2026. > > I know it's been useful to some of you over the years, because you've been > kind enough to tell me so.

I think this list has finally, after slightly more than 29 years, run its course, and unless I hear some cogent objections, I propose to turn it off on 30/6/2026. I know it's been useful to some of you over the years, because you've been kind enough to tell me so. I will try to keep the archives up on a read-only basis somewhere; I suspect much of it is now of academic interest only, but deep in my grubby little soul I remain of an academic bent, so that's reason enough for me to try. Thanks to all of you for making the list worthwhile. Special thanks to NetApp for tolerating its existence right from the early days, and a couple of times intervening on my behalf to ensure deliverability inside NetApp. -- Tom Yates - http://www.teaparty.net

MSSC Supply Chain Logistics Certifications According to CertBoosters
by David dino 03 Jun '26

03 Jun '26

I have worked in logistics for six years. I have deep expertise in warehouse operations, inventory systems, and transportation networks, more than most people on my team. But every time a senior position opened up, someone else got it someone with a certification after their name. That pattern taught me something nobody says out loud experience gets you in the room. Certification gets you the chair. What MSSC Supply Chain Logistics Certification Actually Proves The Manufacturing Skill Standards Council is not a general certification body. It sets the national standard for supply chain and logistics competency in the United States and the Certified Logistics Technician credential is the industry's recognized proof that you meet that standard. The MSSC Supply Chain Logistics Certification demonstrates expertise in critical areas such as logistics management, supply chain operations, and transportation systems making certified professionals highly sought after by employers. Certified individuals can expect average annual earnings ranging from $55,000 to $85,000 depending on experience and specialization. That salary range reflects a profession where verified credentials translate directly into operational trust. A logistics technician without recognized certification is replaceable. A Certified Logistics Technician is an asset and employers treat the two very differently. The Global Demand Picture The next decade projects remarkable growth in this field, with industry experts predicting a 20–25% expansion in supply chain and logistics roles driven by technological advancements, e-commerce growth, and increasing global trade complexities. The United States, Germany, China, Japan, and the United Kingdom represent the top markets with the highest demand for supply chain logistics professionals. These countries are experiencing significant transformations in logistics infrastructure, requiring skilled professionals who can navigate complex supply chain networks, implement advanced technologies like AI and blockchain, and optimize operational efficiency. Emerging markets in India, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates are rapidly expanding their logistics capabilities creating numerous opportunities for certified professionals across manufacturing, retail, technology, and healthcare logistics. E-commerce is the engine behind much of this growth. Every package that moves from a warehouse to a doorstep passes through a supply chain managed by people like you. The difference between certified and uncertified professionals in that chain is now measurable in salaries, in promotions, and in who gets hired when two candidates have equal experience. The CLT Exam What You Are Actually Being Tested On The CLT exam code is CLT full name Certified Logistics Technician 4.0. Exam duration is 120 minutes. The CLT exam is a comprehensive assessment covering logistics and supply chain management fundamentals, material handling, inventory management, and safety. It also covers warehouse operations, transportation, order fulfillment, quality assurance, customer service, and data analysis within a logistics context. The exam assesses your ability to apply these concepts practically through performance-based questions. This is not a theory exam. Real CLT questions place you inside operational scenarios, such as a material handler completing a receiving process, an inventory control decision between Just-In-Time and FIFO methods, and a distribution center managing unscheduled deliveries. These are the decisions logistics technicians make daily. The exam tests whether you make them correctly. 120 minutes. 115 questions. Every question counts and the difference between the right answer and the distractor is often a single operational principle applied correctly under pressure. How CertBoosters Prepares CLT Candidates CertBoosters offers 115 updated CLT practice questions last updated May 30, 2026. Not recycled content. Not outdated scenarios.

The CLT PDF Question Bank is where deep logistics understanding is built.

It was not. The CLT certification was the single credential that changed how employers read my resume and changed the roles I was offered.
