[this is general comment and not targeted at the OP]
In Felix's defence, one of the pre-requisites to joining this mailing
list is having already passed a CCIE Written exam.
See: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/CCIELab.html:
"Welcome to the Cisco Certification CCIE Lab Mailing List. This list
is for members who have already passed the CCIE Written exam and are
scheduled to take the lab within the next 120 day or have already
passed the CCIE Lab (i.e. you are a CCIE). If you need to study for
the CCIE written exam or any other exam, you should join the
Professional GroupStudy."
I'd like to know what percentage of the membership actually meet this
requirement. I can't help but feel the quality of posts would increase
if this was somehow enforced or at least adhered to by would-be
members. Obviously not everyone who has been able to pass the Written
is also capable of using a search engine, but I'd hope the likelihood
increases.
If it's not bad enough that a significant number of threads either
start out, or descend into a religious war over which training
provider is best, having to sift through threads like this (very basic
questions quickly answered by a search engine), for me anyway, just
adds to the "noise" and decreases the list's value --
I am getting tired of seeing such threads, and clearly I'm not the only one.
cheers,
Dale
