I never said that - don't put words in my mouth.
I don't think the value of his CCIE certification has decreased,
but his credibility to teach - and be an expert in the CCIE training
space has. All of this while bashing successful vendors and
instructors with multiple IE's - and much experience and
knowledge That' s my personal opinion - and I'm sure that
there are many people on this board who agree with me.
