Re: CCIE Wireless

And I'd agree with that about skillsets. But just what exact insight do
you have about someone who has ONLY an ISP/Dial, or SNA/Blue, or
WAN-Switching or Design CCIE to be able to pass any judgement whatsoever
about what should count or not?

That's inane.

I don't take it personally at all, but at the same time I cannot believe
anyone would make brash accusations like that about someone's knowledge
or capabilities. Is it different than wondering about the people who
hang out on lists like this but yet don't have their CCIE and don't
appear to be actively moving towards it either? I'm pretty sure that
osmosis doesn't work in that fashion.

But why make comments like that?
