"In response to your feedback, we have decided to drop the Networkers
session requirement for recertification."

What, are you CCIEs nuts? What kind of brain damage thinking is that?
That was the ONLY reason why I spent $10,000 on equipment, $12,000 on
training, and thousands of hours in study!
So I could get an annual boondoggle to Vegas, LA, or Orlando. I don't even
like this networking stuff.
Damn! 17 years experience shot to hell.

:-D
