Could this be the starting point of some widsom on Omega List?
However, being a solution provider does not give any right or reason to be rigth
better than anyone,or any  kind of guarantee to know more than anyone.
There is no Solution Provider serie 3 exam for the moment.
We could be suspected of knowing something to Omega software because we use it
for our own development, but is it really more true than for user lambda ?
I'm not so sure...
In the meantime, it seems that none has yet suspected Omega Man and PO to be the same.
The most difficult thing to me (PO) being to write in low level english in contrast of OM style,
 in order to protect my real NY identity and juicy  hair dresser business.
Until now, it was a success.
Guess it will continue...
