Re: In defence of Brad
Although I never purchased anything from Brad, I would say if he can offer equipments to the list at a fair price(which he did), why not? Concerning he do business in this list, well, frankly speaking, he did contribute to this list, and some of the tech people within the list. Most importantly, he can help us to get the low-priced equipments, plus he is able to make money out of that. Then, we are in 'WIN-WIN' scenario, why not?

Re: Re:In defence of Brad
You guys are too sweet! :) Thx! I'll be posting another kit here in a few days. Im still trying to put together a nice package for you CCIE goers. Ive got a few extra 2520's if anyone needs a frame switch. Marc Russell's Rack #3 should have ATM in about 10-12 days. I'll post something here when it happens, and Im sure Marc will let his current customers know. He also just added a new lab to his package of labs, Lab#15. It's got some VoIP and IPSec on there. Thanks again to everyone who's already purchased kits from me! If anyone else out there in groupstudy land needs some gear, you know where to go: www.optsys.net ciao, -Brad Ellis CCIE#5796 ""Kane"" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message 002b01bffadb$44f32330$0500a8c0@winpro">news:002b01bffadb$44f32330$0500a8c0@winpro... Yeah well I have, The gear I ordered arrived within 5 days of placing the order , all beautifully packaged etc. I would also like to point out that I live in New Zealand , and if it wasn't for people like Brad Ellis, gaining any Cisco Certs would be an extremely expensive exercise given that there isn't exactly a plethora of used Cisco equipment available here. Anyone that creates a more level playing field is OK by me.

Re: In defence of Brad
I'd like to add a couple of points that possibly have been overlooked. The first one is that I don't believe I've seen Brad 'spam' the list for sales. He only ever seems to reply to people who have posted looking for equipment to study on. Secondly, isn't that the point of this list as well? To be able to get any and all assistance from a peer group studying for the CCxx's? This surely includes equipment and I know I wouldn't give my routers away for free either. I know I've got enough on my plate studying for my written soon instead of debating a non-existant list ethics issue.
