Greg,
As self-appointed President and senior member (pun intended) of the Groupstudy OGC (Old
Geezers Club) I insist that you complete your CCIE without any undue delay (medical
excuses will not be accepted). I still have visions of being the oldest to finally
obtain a CCIE.
If you wish to join the OGC, I will be happy to appoint you in-house counsel. Then we
can sue the hell out of any YPK's that get in our way! :) Remember, even if we're
clueless, when OGC members talk, people listen.
