RE: Slightly OT - Integrity of the CCIE candidate

I know fraud is plentiful out there in the world. I am not oblivious to it,
but it is a real shock to go from nothing for so long to this.

Maybe this is just the sign of the times with the economy the way it is.
Maybe it is just how people have been raised over the past few years. Who
knows?
