Re: Why not to use the "real ccie lab" folks

Hi ALL !

I don't think that the "paper" CCIEs have reached a number big enough
as to make cisco worry about it. Cisco holds a _huge_ slice of the
market and a big part of that is due to the number of cisco
professionals, of which CCIEs are the top guys.

Until these "paper" CCIEs don't create a bad press big enough to annoy
cisco, and ruin the certification for all of us... cisco is going to
keep putting up with it.

maybe one solution, would be to bring back part of the old 2 days lab,
have the proctors messed up the configuration on the second day, but
even that isn't totaly "paper-proof"

I guess the only thing definitely paper-proof would be an technical
interview, much like a job interview, I don't know if that is feasible
though

my $0.02
