Hello Pal,

While others may be mad atcha for airing your views, I personally sympathise
with it. You must be really intelligentially gifted to be able to become a
CCIE from zero within one calendar year.
Please accept my heartfelt congratulations and commiserations for the fact
that your uncommon and ingenious ability has placed you in a temporary
disadvantage. The CCIE is really great and pays best of ALL certifications;
you just need a little patience while you garner the necessary experience. I
wish I had your mental ability and your prayers as I chase what I believe to
be the ticket to earn my family and I, a passport to a decent life in this
decadent capitalist system.

Once again congrats; but mind your phraseology so you don't inadvertently
offend hard-working, decent people.

Regards,

Austin Alao,

Dezhong,
     You might want to unsubscribe from this list if you think the CCIE is
so
easy and has no real value. All you're going to do is piss people off by
making comments like that.
