So many of my students are talking about how the quality of this list is
degrading. They point to the pathetic "Vendor War" posts, and ridiculously
off topic, offensive discussions that now seem to be commonplace.
I am very happy to say that none of my students have complained about
"CCNA-Level" questions.
My goodness - it is just so refreshing to see an actual question posted.
With this said, if the Professional forum of GroupStudy does actually have
volume, I suppose I will direct such questions there in the future. I just
fear it is like the CCIE Security list, which is essentially non-existent.
