Yes, Paul did do a good job cutting down that traffic. I just noticed
that in the last month or so there has been a slew of *really* basic
questions that can be answered in the first two or three chapters of any
decent CCNA study guide or by a 30 second search on CCO.
I certainly don't mind answering these types of questions, I was just
concerned that the purpose of the two separate lists was being
undermined, causing a lot of unnecessary traffic. To me it's no
different than posting jobs on the Associate or Professional lists. It
may reach some of the right people, but it's not the appropriate place
to post that type of information.

Yes, John, there is an Associate list. We have a similar problem
there as well. People keep insisting on asking CCNP/CCIE level
questions on that list.
However, people being the way they are, I doubt we will ever
solve the problem completely. But, you got to admit that Paul
at least cut down on the volume of CCNA level traffic on this list.

Do we no longer have an Associate list as well as the Professional
list? We've been getting horrendous numbers of emails lately that
simply do not belong on this list. If you don't know how to connect
a
PC to a router using the console cable or how to connect two routers
back-to-back, it seems to me that you should ask those types of
questions on the CCNA-level list, not the CCNP-level list.
I'm not intending to come down too hard on people asking these
questions, I'm just asking that you post to the appropriate list.
The
Associate mailing list is intended for the simpler questions, while
the
Professional list is intended for those with slighly more advanced
questions. I understand that we tend to grant a *lot* of leeway
when
it
comes to subject matter, but the level of the question should still
be
appropriate to the list it's posted to.
Okay, enough ranting. :-) Back to our regular programming....

John
