Answering this would compound the problem. It's been a while since I
sat the lab, but when this type of thing occurs it's pretty obvious to
someone who has recently taken it.

You may not, but the person asking knows, and the person who was (smartly)
vague about publicly identifying the question and the person asking have
a very good idea.
I have mixed feelings about threads like this one. On the one hand they
contribute to off-topic "noise", and depending on the detail may give
hints about the specific question that is in violation. On the other hand,
they give notice that this type of thing is not welcome here.
A suggestion for Paul:
When this type of thread develops, it puts the existence of this list
at risk. You're providing a public service and are probably not in a
position to try to out-lawyer Cisco if it comes to that. Follow up
with a posting expressing the policies of the list and of Cisco, and
a link to their reporting site,
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/625/ccie/ccie_program/cheating_dishonesty.html
with a suggestion that the thread be killed. If you can identify the
question in violation, quietly remove it from the archives.
A suggestion for others who see NDA-violations:
Report them via the above link, and privately to the list administrator.
Discussions about the NDA generate a lot of noise, most of which is
of little value to the group.
