All and Narbik,
For the record, I have reviewed the email chain and
had a chance to review it in the daylight hours.
1. Narbik - you are wrong - the email where you
"jokingly - I hope" mentioned buying copyright
materials (NLI specifically) and giving them away was
published to GS by you and not by me. It is in this
email where you mentioned not getting paid by NLI for
workbooks, etc. and then changed your story and blamed
me for publishing the email to GS. Please review your
sent emails. I did review mine. This is a very
serious statement and one which I do not condone. In
the same email you mentioned for the second time about
your class in Las Vegas and also told Victor you would
check with FastLane about the CCSI thing.
2. I asked questions based on the information given -
Sorry, it's what I do if something seems not quite
right. Brad wrote me and asked me to stay out of it,
since each person's situation was and is different. I
was concerned since I did recommend Victor to consider
employment initially with Brad and NLI. But again,
the questions have been raised and I understand their
is now a dialog occurring in private where it should
be.
3. I do not appreciate Narbik implying that I
published his private emails that were unicast - I did
not and wish the record to be clear on the matter. As
far as I can tell Victor did not either. It looks to
be a simple mistake where Narbik, himself, replied to
all - and ccielab@groupstudy happened to be on the
recipient list. A simple misunderstanding. I did not
write those words and do not wish to take credit for
someone even implying buying a vendor's works and then
publishing them publicly and for spite or revenge.
This is not my character and I am not happy that
Narbik thinks I would have deliberately published or
replied to this line of reasoning.
4. For the record, Victor, the author of his own
works, may or may not choose, to introduce those works
to the public domain, however, I think he has been
very careful to ensure he does not confuse what is
copyright and what is not. Look carefully.
5. I do think a lot of people's character came out of
this and if one really cares one would follow-up. And
by the way, for Brad's part, he did respond
professionally at least to me unicast, I would think
he has done the same to the other parties of this
email.
6. Finger-pointing is not a skill required for the
CCIE Lab. We are all adults and one should never say
in email anything that is not to be repeated. We
should also be careful whatever we write in email,
especially with such statements that can be quite
badly sent and received.
7. Sorry to all bystanders for this public display -
however, given I felt like I was becoming a scapegoat
by a known and reputable CCIE Trainer for making
copyright materials public - I felt I should clear the
air and be very clear, that I did agree with Victor,
that any materials created by Victor, and NOT paid for
or owned by anyone else could be made public domain
and thus invalidate their future sale value, IF Victor
felt he needed to go that route. I also think it was
in poor taste for a notable instructor, a creator of
notable copyright materials, to even make such a
statement in private or even if joking. However, the
statement was made and not by myself or Victor.
8. As near as I can tell, NLI had not published for
sale any labs so far that were unpaid for as of yet by
Victor.
9. I think that wraps it up for my part. Trust me, I
do not like my words to ever be confused for what I
did and did not say.
