my email address works, and I wouldnt mind having a dialogue with you. The trouble is that Cisco has made this certification seem so "unachievable" and so "frightening" and of course "so much wantable" that it creates a market for "knowing the unknown" and "taming the untamed". So you are ok, in looking at the tremendous opportunity amidst all this, and make a business out of it.
I am also aware of the fact that nothing in this world is free, and anything that is free is NOT APPRECIATED. But there is a limit to how much you can charge, especially with the non-proprietory nature of the knowledge. 650$ translates to roughly 1200$ over here in Australia, and would translate to about 30K in some places in Asia. And that includes just scenarios. So what are you doing, creating another MICROSOFT ? Nick S. ps. This is NOT a public Scam. Just a few things that I dont agree on.
