Agreed on all points..... Out of curiosity, did anyone ever admit to wanting to trade a higher number ie with a lower number? I don't think I ever saw anyone come right out and say yes or no.
I'm pretty much in lurk mode on this list, and so my opinions and such can be taken for what they are worth, and I think that while this list is a discussion area for certification prep I see a lot of material that looks suspiciously like "I ran across this at work, help me". Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, just pointing out that once the "what is the passing score for xyz", "what books are best" and "what do I need to study", not to mention the odd "I have all the answers, e-mail me" posts get set aside, there are considerably more items that qualify as "off" topic than on. nrf provides numerous opportunities for interesting discussions that go beyond the how many bits in a byte conversations. He seems to agitate some people (some more than others) which in my book usually means he's hit on something. I realize that by daring to criticize the ccie program in any way offends some who have staked a good portion of blood, sweat and tears on obtaining, or working on obtaining, their certification, but that doesn't make some of his points any less valid. Anyway, that's my $.02, as always if you're not interested in what I have to say, ignore me or delete this message, please don't send me a 10 page response telling me how I'm responsible for keeping the thread alive :) "Peter van Oene" cc: Sent by: Subject: Re: RE: number of CCIE [7:70151] [EMAIL PROTECTED] .com 06/09/2003 09:22 AM Please respond to "Peter van Oene" At 09:34 PM 6/8/2003 +0000, garrett allen wrote: >the intent of this list is to discuss preparation cisco exams, not >opportunities in the various job markets. if your comments don't >relate to the study blueprint in some meaninful way, please keep them >to yourself. nice thread :-) for those whining about it, you can skip the messages you know. ccie is a good challenge. got after it if you want. maybe it will help you get a job, maybe it won't. jncie is pretty neat too :) my ie will expire in a couple months and I could really care less. but please, feel free to continue debate subjective topics as you see fit. for what its worth, in my opinion, nrf has well earned the right to debate whatever he wants on this list. pete >thanks. > >----- Original Message ----- >From: n rf >Date: Sunday, June 8, 2003 4:14 pm >Subject: Re: RE: number of CCIE [7:70151] > > > garrett allen wrote: > > > > > > yawn. > > > > Bored? > > > > I don't want to be overly confrontational, but if you really > > thought this > > thread was so boring that you're yawning, then why did you bother > > to make a > > rebuttal to me in the first place?
