The title means a lot if you ever run into a PE, someone who is licensed.
They get really pissy about that, and it's a whole series of lawsuits that
Novell went through with the CNE program long, long ago. Certain states
have very stringent ideas about it, and I believe that's why Cisco just
sidestepped the issue.

I bet it will not be long!
I love how you put "Expert" in quotes. One of my pet peeves is the fact that
term is used in the CCIE title. I tell people I am a Cisco Certified
Internetwork Engineer - not Expert.
While the title is silly - I sure hope that I can help you achieve it!

Not yet, but I think it will not be very long now.
I still don't feel like the "Expert" just yet, but I think I have learned
quite a few tricks along the way.
I'm not sure one ever feels like they know quite everything at this point.
I have heard many say as much.
But I am fairly competent on the networks than I manage and can function
day-to-day easily doing my job related tasks with a lot of help of or
digging for resources.
I guess that is where I really wanted to be when I started.
I have a lab scheduled for May 22nd.
But I plan to continue my learning even after I pass.
