If it's so boring, why the scathing email?

...and good comparison - if the trend keeps up, CCIE's won't be worth
anything more than a MCSE. If that comes about, I wouldn't bother with
the effort of even trying.

CCIE's dictate careers. Face it. And of course, as time goes on,
there'll be more and more CCIE's. But you cannot argue with me saying
that the test hasn't gotten easier. Believe me, I know a good deal about
the program (being inside Cisco and at the RTP site), and you cannot win
this argument with me.

We're not saying "Don't let anyone into the club." We're saying, "Make
it just as difficult to get into the club now as it was when I joined."
