I believe the original e-mail was sarcastic. I don't believe anyone could truly be that closed minded. I suspect that it was a knock at those that who think that someone can only know what they are talking about if they have The 4 letters and 4 numbers after their name.

Certification is very important, and vast discussion here in groupstudy is dedicated to Cisco cert, but not everything is a cisco world. I am not saying we should start discussing, the difference between VB and C++ here but I still welcome networking discussion in general that is related to being a network engineer. In agreeing with you, I would like to somehow limit posting that is totally irrelevant so we can have some focus but I don't think talking only about Cisco equipment and only by CCIE is an answer. My goal is to be a professional network engineer, and Cisco is my main product, but I don't want to limit my knowledge to just that or listen to CCIEs only. Many Corporate executive jobs require bachelors and masters degrees, but there are presidents and CEOs that never went or finished college, so should we exclude listening to them about running a business? Certs are important, but I don't think we should limit people because they do not have a certain cert. - Paul Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=43022&t=42996 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
