Congrats on passing.
JP could be right or abs wrong, we dont know. Its difficult to only blame him,
we are not in his shoes. He could be right too, may be IPexpert did something
wrong in the starting and later on after hammering them he got some relief.
NOBODY IS PERFECT, BEING PERFECT IS MADNESS.
DONT FORGET, PASSING THE CCIE LAB STARTS FROM 80%, NOT 100%

Regards,
MARK
