I have recently strongly disagreed with nrf, but I do not find him negative as you suggest. I think it's a shame if people cannot contribute without being personally attacked in such a generalised manner. > I do not know if nrf is one of these people (he could just be negative for > no particular reason), there are some people who come to these discussion > groups to discourage others from pursuing dreams the achievement of which > might bring about a greater number of certified IT professionals and perhaps > exert downward pressure on salaries. I don't know nrf personally but I doubt that he's that influential. Anybody who gets put off the cert process by reading a discouraging viewpoint on this list probably doesn't have the mettle to see it through anyway. rgds Marc Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=60271&t=59481 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
