Thanks for the link Brian. According to paragraph 2
" - Posting of test content to study groups internal to Cisco
or External to Cisco with the exception of ccie-lab@cisco.com. "
the whole list is in violation. So what's up with that? I guess it must have
Cisco's blessing? I know of
at least 1 Cisco employee on the list. There must be at least 2 or more.
Question still not answered.
Jerry
