No, it wasn't one of my questions. Since there's a new CCNA paper on VLANs
going online at CertificationZone tomorrow, I'd expect that it's a question
from whomever authored that paper. I don't know who that is. I guess we'll
have to wait and see tomorrow!

I wonder who the author is? I thought it might be you, but your answers are
more straight-forward.
It's a mystery. ;-) It really does read a lot like a CID question. Maybe
it's Robert Padjen?
Talk to you later,
