No I didn't – I also stated that I didn't take into account Excelsior because it is more expensive and harder to fulfill requirements through them – distorting a message much? I think, and I believe that most people would agree that the name game is an extremely relevant factor. See: The College Name Game - BA in 4 weeks who discusses this issue at length and who basically pioneered the concept of testing out of a degree to begin with.
In my opinion, I think most people you'd talk to would say that TESC sounds the best, then COSC, and "Excelsior College" just sounds like Devry or Kaplan. Back when it was called, "Regents College" it didn't sound as flashy. The first two at least sound like normal colleges. Not Ivy league mind you, but typical institutions. Regardless, wherever you go, they are all regionally accredited degrees, and if it fulfills or enables career progression then more power to you.
I think perhaps you should not be so emotional next time, and you're always welcome to respond why you disagree rather than stating my entire argument is "invalidated" because of a personal difference in opinion.
