"leave please"? Please read my original email once again and point
to the place where I've written that.

I don't have any power to eject anybody from this list and I don't have
an intention to do so - even if I would have such power.

My comment was just about idea of achieving a certificate of a vendor
that is viewed as 'greedy' - if your personal view on it goes that
you don't like that vendor, why care about certificates it is giving?

While I may have overreacted, there's fine line between being fair,
and just ranting/flaming. When ranting/flaming turns into insults,
this is hardly a way to discuss in public.

But, of course, you may also sum the mail as You did:

..then I can write that in this way you're propably insulting at
least some Cisco employees, but then you'd respond with 'are you for
real?', and the meaningless rant could continue for years. So I'm happy
you voiced your opinion, and let's leave it as it is.

Best regards,
