Pascal,

I never meant any disrespect of your achivement or any other CCIE without
personal conflicts.

In my case I know that I'll be a triple CCIE by now if I could only dedicate
myself to the learning curve or if I was 10 years younger.

Meeting the beast twice and being defeat it by it, I believe just makes me a
better engineer.
You really need to know the stuff, not because of the paper but because
what's expected from you.

Congratulations on your achivement.

Please let us know if it really does make a difference. (Show me the Money)
Sorry! Couldn't resist:)

Regards,

JB
