Re: Spamming the list

In this case it was not me that advertised CCNP, but hey its cool, but how
else would some one know that these guys are now selling CCNA and/or CCNP
stuff, besides, in his previous post he attacked Darby and whole bunch of
other people, my point is if people think that this list is going down, or
they think the quality is NO longer there, and its crap, well...... there is
an option, GET OUT. Now you can agree or disagree, but if i dont like a
forum, i will NOT be there.

*I can't help but feel that the frequency of quality contributions has
decreased over the
past 6 - 12 months.*

Remember you got your CCIE in the last 6 - 12 months, and i saw most of your
questions answered by the members of this forum, now how did the frequency
of quality contribution decrease?

This forum has helped many people, Vendors like IPexpert, INE have helped
lots of people, i may disagree with all of their philosophy but the truth of
the matter is that they have, and if they advertise a product from time to
time, it should NOT boil anyones blood.
I travel 10 + countries and let me tell you, no matter where i go, people
login and know GS, they love the stuff that we say, they learn a lot from
this forum. NO ONE believes that the quality is NOT there, no one.

I guess i better go back to work, MPLS-TE can be a pain.
