RE: OT (Hint: maybe on-topic if you need to need help)

I think the point is IPX was peddling some of the worst WB on the market I should know I picked them up few years ago half baked and never complete missing most of the meat and key ingredients.

Their Instructors may be good but if you're dealing with half baked material for a class how can an instructor shine when he has to back pedal on what you need to do in a scenario.

You have failed the lab after taken Narbiks class as well as I have.
That is not saying anything bad about Narbik. He is a great instructor
and has great workbooks. He is not the panacea to the CCIE lab though
and this is another Darby advertisement post once more...

Also there are just as good instructors with IPX and INE and this is
an unfair advertisement. You have said this stuff about both there
camps as well before...
