Hey, that's a damn good idea, and well-articulated. The part
about getting some sort of certification is new, I don't think
I've ever heard anybody say that before; and the rest has been
said, but never said quite so well.
The question is...Why do we do that? I don't see killing Cisco
as a suitable motive; why would somebody want to do so? They're
no Microsoft...they're a huge company that has a better attitude.
Anyway, all of us people who have learned routing concepts with
LRP can then just learn cisco language and get _very_high_paying_
jobs working on Cisco equipment...
Well, I don't see such a situation as hurting cisco at all, since
the user in question would never buy anything from Cisco. So,
the question remains..._why_ do we want to target this user so
strongly? Maybe for bragging rights: "Over ten thousand users
and growing every day!"??
> just a thought! (thought from think??? please correct me!)
If you're asking for your english to be corrected, then 'just a
thought' is no less correct than when anybody else says it; it
is a casual form of 'that was just a thought I had' and is fine.
An English teacher would not accept it, however, as it is only a
sentence fragment.
