RE: thoughts on this one from cert zone [7:14394]

[Wright, Jeremy]

I was really really joking. I know the layers and the protocols. I was just
trying to loosen people up. I wouldn't have my CCNP or on my way to my CCIE
with that philosophy about ST.

                     AYEEEEEEEE!

                If Microsoft is saying this, they haven't bothered to look
at the OSI 
                or IEEE reference models.  Spanning tree is a management
protocol at 
                layer 2.  NetBIOS (not NetBEUI) is a layer 5 protocol,
although it's 
                arguable that name resolution is layer 7,
