Yeah... everyone is getting their CCIE just for the heck of it now
because the exams are so easy.
Pretty soon the market is going to be flooded with bumper stickers
reading "My child is a quad-CCIE and XYZ Junior High School".
See now, if they put the physical cabling back on the exam, it would
make it harder for these 10-11 year-olds to reach the rack to make it
more difficult for them to pass until they grow a little bit more! I
don't know why they make it so easy for them.

Hey Tony,
You should be praised and congratulated for not perpetuating all that
elitist nonsense about how difficult it is to get a ccie. Frankly, as
you
and many others know getting a ccie is really no big deal. Read a book,
take a couple exams and bah-da-bing ba-da-boom you're a ccie.
I'm tried of hearing all the laments and whining of lots of lazy, half
wits
who won't even take the time to carefully read a few hundred pages of a
technical book complaining about how hard this is - especially when most
people pass the exam after just 2 or 3 weeks of preparation.
Thank you for telling it like it is and not trying to elevate the ccie
to
Nobel prize status.
