I second that.  However, the way HR departments work can be described 
with this simple command:

    grep -v alphabet-soup list-of-applicants.txt > reject-list.txt

Basically, very often you get screened out long before anybody competent 
gets a chance to look into your resume.  So it is up to you.  Not 
wasting time and money on some alphabet soup and lowering your chances 
of finding a job, or spending some time and money on some sily title. 
Sometimes I think this is conspiracy between HR departments and 
certification organizations...  Whatever it is, it is very profitable 
business.  Just look how much Microsoft is charging for classes and 
certificates...

BOFH...  Hmmmm...  Wonder how that would look in my resume, gota try it 
out at least once ;-)
