Re: Failed - October 8.

:). I know what you meant. I had to re-read to make sure I wasn't complaining.

Complaining is like a rocking chair. It'll give you something to do, but it won't get you anywhere.

Rather trying to identify my next steps and give a second heads up (I said something similar after my first failure) on Frame Relay questions that I encountered that most vendors overlooked.  I appreciate your help and assistance, I wouldn't say I ever complained, though.

I did get a PM from INE about how Frame Relay is being emphasized more in 4.0, when everyone thought it was being phased out with the introduction of MPLS.  IPE and Micronics reached out as well.  If anything I'm grateful for all of the senior CCIE's out in the forum that offer constructive criticism.
