I think from a 'PR perspective' they should have pushed it out 90
days. Only because people who are scheduled within the next 90 days
have already paid for the exam and now they're changing it. Yeah it
shouldn't matter, if you can pass the exam you should be able to
answer the questions but, its the principle of the thing.
I wonder if an exceptable answer for the 'OSPF timer question' would
be 'sho ip osp int'... I'm going to try to answer all my questions in
the form of show commands...
"You just stated " I believe people are free to express how they feel". Then
you are telling me that I should keep it to myself. I am doing exactly what
you stated. Have a great day."
Thats what makes defending civil liberties such a bitch, you're always
defending someone elses right to try to take your rights away... at
point... you lose
