Which would be particularly silly/deplorable in this specific case as many of
the issues Mr Steudten is complaining about will become moot next Wednesday,
anyway. If he'd just delayed his exam for a single *week* he would presumably
have seen quite a different picture, and there isn't much sense in engaging
in a round of LPI bashing just now.
Anyway, »exam content details«? Sheesh. I don't think there is anything in Mr
Steudten's post that isn't also part of the published objectives. It's not as
if he had posted a brain-dump of his exam or anything. If we're not allowed
to mention even the content of the *published* objectives on this list, what
do you propose to do about the lpi-examdev list, which is specifically
*meant* for discussing (future) exam content, and where of course published
and possible future exam objectives come up all the time? Will you want that
list to be moderated, too?

PS. His second message suggests that there is also a slight problem as far as
communicating the fact that the exam objectives will change on 1 April
is concerned. This is arguably the #1 top important issue of note to
95% of LPI's clientele these days, so there would certainly seem to be
some justification for posting a huge and obvious banner to that effect on
the LPI home page, rather than camouflaging the announcement among a
bunch of other, comparatively insignificant, press releases advertised in
3-pt type in the middle of the page. You presume a level of attentiveness
and reading comprehension of corporatese English on the part of LPIC-1/2
candidates that may or may not actually be there, where I'd much rather
see something to the effect of
HEY FOLKS, THE CONTENT OF THE LPIC-1/2 EXAMS WILL CHANGE ON APRIL 1ST!!!
in large, friendly letters across the top of the page, on the off-chance.
With the current arrangement, it's a good thing you didn't manage to
announce two more seminars or master affiliates or else the new-objectives
announcement might have scrolled off the home page completely. Just trying
to be helpful ...
