Gee, that means I have had 4 cases of denial so far. I hope I don't have
another, this is getting costly :)
All I can say is stick with it and don't give up, as for me, next time I
will be so prepared its not funny.Actually in a way I am a bit nervous going
back for some reason, you might say its the thought of not passing again
that scares me I think, Anyhow I am counting on 5th time lucky. But I did
enjoy those lunches, Its embarrassing when the people behind the lunch
counter remember you :)
Cheers
John (CCIE - not too far away, I can feel it in my bones)
