Not to get involved with the GS drama, but I do have another "unsolicited GS
testimonial" for Narbik and a few other guys that I met this week at Cisco
Live.
I am one of the students Narbik mentioned that recently passed the R&S lab ,
it was last week in San Jose. So I added a second ccie to my number.
I personally attended Narbik's CCIE bootcamp last fall and thought it was
great, moreover Narbik's (and Janet's) commitment to help each and every
student to pass the lab was more impressive. I used his material, GS archives,
and some of the cisco sponsored partner labs to study.

So this week I met Marko, Eman, and other members of the CCIE community while
I was out here. They are all a bunch of great people, and yes they are trying
to make a living out of helping all of us. But they don't discriminate who
they help. So whether they solicit comments or not, I personally have no
problems with it. The best advertising is word of mouth, and in this virtual
world it group lists like this, social networks, podcasts, etc... whatever
gets the word out. My dad is a small businessman and he has a sign up in his
shop that says "If you are happy with our service, please tell everyone you
know. If you are not please tell us, so we can make it right."

Thanks again to all the people I met this week, and thanks to everyone that is
on GS for helping out.

Have a great holiday weekend!

Sensitive, are we? I hope they have wide halls in the hotel, wouldn't want
your head to get stuck. Thanks for emphasizing the words I should
concentrate
on, makes skimming the message a breeze. I'm sure outbursts like these are
helping with new candidates (read business, more $$$$).

Good luck!!

Listen Ryan,

I don't know what the heck your problem is, but the people that write
testimonials have a name and an e-mail, and trust me it will NOT end anytime
soon because in the past two days i had two more students that passed the
exam. If it gets to you, DELETE the freaking e-mails, you are a CCIE are you
NOT? you should know where the DELETE key is.
I have NEVER had an issue with you or know you, but you constantly pick on
me.
My grandma told me once and i quote "NEVER argue with an IDIOT, because he
will pull you down to his level and win with experience" and since you are
that idiot, i will stop this exchange of e-mails immediately.
