John,
I was NOT trying to tell you that you are asking stupid questions, i am
trying to tell you NOT to be discouraged by some of the vague questions that
some of the vendors put together, a question like that does not tell you
much, I thought that you knew the difference between shaping and policing
and you were trying to get a clue on the question.
Some of these vendors will purposely get students all messed up to draw them
into their classes, i doubt very much that you or anyone else will get a
vague question like that. I am sorry if i offended you, i did not mean to do
that, i was trying to make sure that you were not discouraged.
Unicast me if you need more help.
