Congratulations!! on your achievement. But I still think you needn't go
through that complaining of yours. If you felt something was bad, you have
had it mentioned once. Please don't repeat it. You passed now, and I am sure
you shouldn't be having any ill feeling to anyone now.
I still owe my first CCIE to people like Brian's and Scott and they never
would withheld any information from you, they just try to help out the
maximum they can.
Cheers,
Hoogen
